retail, around $450 or so at Just Gas Tanks: http://www.justgastanks.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_70_368&products_id=1036
I'm debating back and forth if it was worth it for an extra gallon...on the other hand, the alternatives were not elegant.

Ahh, the good old huge pile of stock parts. I have a nice bin full of them too. Looks good. Are those still the stock tires?

Yep, Bridgestones. I got some Pirelli's but will wait for a bit.

EJTV,
That's the way Yamaha should sell the WR straight from the showroom.
Time to log some miles.

If you have to ask "is it worth it," you can't afford it....LOL
In all seriousness, with all the mods, still cheaper than a KTM 450 or a BMW 450, much more of a dual sport ride, and much cheaper to maintain and repair, etc.
Yes, worth every penny.

And then some. What you save in fuel consumption in itself is a huge boon.

Couldn't get the correct angle to my mirrors given the current angle and location of metal hand-guards/handlebars, so I sawed about a square inch off the outer top edge of both plastic hand-guards. Not most elegant solution, but it worked for me:
This allows a greater than 90 degree angle for the mirrors:
