Default Bars - Gloss black or Satin

So I ordered a set of custom bars and risers from BR Customs in gloss black. The other gloss black components I have are the fork lowers and heavy breather AC. My plan is to add gloss black strut covers and PC the dash panel. Possibly do the triple trees in gloss as well.

Now I'm questioning how the gloss bars will look with the satin hand controls. Any opinions on whether I should change my order to satin black or keep going with the gloss stuff.

IMO satin looks better on handlebars than gloss.

I had my stock bars powdered satin which I like. They go well with the controls, but it all depends on the contrast you want. I did the headlights gloss and moved the front signals to the forks and also did them gloss to tie in with the lower forks. I had the strut covers done in gloss along with the detachable sissy bar and that turned out great.
