Semi Dual Sport Tires for BMW R1200R

I am taking a 2007 BMW R1200R to D2D in Alaska next month and need a semi dual sport tire on it , something slightly more gravel worthy than street rubber. I have seen the Pirelli Scorpion Trail fits this model but they are ZR rated which means longevity may not be adaquate for an 8K mile run. A 4.5-5.5 K mile tire is probably not going to cut it. In theory I could install further north and replace just after reentering the states and squeak by with 6500 mile range. Do you have any alternatives in the 180/55 17, and 120/7017 sizes required for this bike? I'd love to have anakees, or tourances like I'll be riding on my GS, but dont see this size listed for my wife's R1200R.

AltRider BMW R1200R Skid Plate Kicked-up debris can endanger your BMW engine, but the AltRider skid plate for the R 1200 R has it covered. Made of sturdy 4.75 mm anodized aluminum, the AltRider skid plate features a corrugated design that multiplies its strength. The 1 3/8 inch radii flanges mirror the profile of the headers, which creates a unique shape that tightly conforms to the underside of the bike. Close turns, brush, and other off road dangers wont pose a threat to your vulnerable header pipes, because this product gives them substantial coverage. And when the front wheel spits back rocks and dirt, the AltRider skid plate will protect your headers and cross pipe. Easy installation 4.75 mm (3/16 inch) anodized aluminum Fits 2005-current models Includes 2 vibration isolation mounts and 1 skid plate mount bracket Length 18 inches Height 3.3 inches Width 14 inches Weight 4.5 lbs
 

Anybody have a photo of a BMW R1200R with the silver or black skidplate on it?

I would like to get a skidplate but they are out of stock. Would like to see a photo of both colors to decide which to buy when they are in stock again.

thanks, Ed
