I like them on your bike. Not usually a fan but they add and bring the chrome from your chromed lowers back to the rear end.
Also...what size and brand windshield is that?

+1 on the color matched -- the billet doesn't go with the lines of the bike, IMHO. But you solicited opinions, and that is mine. Go with the color matched and I think you'll like the look of the overall bike instead.

Try photoshopping the pix you have posted and see what you think...

Black would not be bad either. PM makes some different powder coated billet latches. As I stated before color matched would be my choice. But the black would run a real close second.

Thanks for everyone's great feedback. I guess I'll leave em' on for a few days to see how they grow on me since I paid for them.

To each his own though. I'm sure there's ALOT about my scoot people can't stand.
I agree. I prefer the color matched ones.

You could keep the originals and put chrome inserts where the reflector is.
Personally I do not like billet aluminum.
And that one peice is all you have so to me it stands out. Doesnt flow.
Hope this pic comes out:
