In my opinion (which is worth what you paid for it) they don't look right on your scoot.

I took a peek at those earlier this AM in the J&P catalog and was wondering how they might look. Any chance you have other photos from the side that might give a straight on view? Thanks for posting what you have so far.

+1 more on some pics Rod. Personally I also like the shape of the original latches but don't like cheap looking reflectors stuck on them. I like the billet ones cegusa picked better than stock w/reflectors but your alternative might be just my style.

Yeah, I would sell them and buy the Street Glide color-matched latches!

Default pic of mine

here's a pic of my cobalt blue SG with the chrome inserts in the latches. couldn't bring myself to replace the paint matched latches since it liked them so much.
