You can hide all kinds of neat stuff in the pockets of a vest! Hell, I consistently carry a carton of cigs, a pack of rolling papers, a couple of lighters, an alligator clip, a bottle opener, spare napkins, plastic forks, a beer coozie, extra ammo, a .45, a pair of brass knucks, a hawkbill knife, a roll of electrical tape, a small pair of pliers, a screwdriver, zip ties, a flattened roll of tp, and change for a $100 bill. I am sure there is something I left out lol!

I'll say this much, and it's my opinion, we all know that one...
I used to think vests with a lot of patches was gay. I still do. But a vest with a few nice choice patches looks good. I came back from Iraq earlier this month, and came to the conclussion, F_CK what every one thinks, I'm putting some patches on my vest.

I agree. Too many patches & pins and you start to look like the waiters at TGIF.
Most clubs have restrictions on what/where you can put your personal patches. The back of our cuts is off limits, as well as the upper (shoulder area) on the front, both sides. Most guys don't load up with all those nonsense patches, but save their space for a few good patriotic & brotherhood patches, plus the inevitable memorial ones.
Most over-the-counter patches are not an issue as far as color goes. I'd be more concerned about what they say than the color. But from what you posted, I'd doubt that anyone would ever have more than a nod of approval for you.

You'll be fine.
When in doubt, approach a local MC member (respectfully and at the appropriate time) and simply ask these questions. They're just guys like the rest of us, and they'll most likely be glad to talk to you and school you on the meanings of different things since you're new.

those look fine to me none of them look anything like the important ones you should think about
just don't do something like put a "support 81" patch or shirt on and ride through the middle of say Jacksonville LOL
that's the kind of stuff to worry about not what you have

Advanced
I've never understood the purpose of a vest other than for colors. I don't see much of a practical purpose.

When I get around to it, I plan to sew the Harley "night vision" patches on my spare jacket and vest to make me show up better at night.
