If the stock ones didnt have that reflector on them, I would say keep them, and spend the money someplace else. I still dont know though....there is just something about the billet latches that turns me off.
Honestly, I think PTM stock ones look best (minus the reflector which can be painted over). That being said, I dont care for those at all...they dont flow with the lines of the bike/saddlebags.
To each his own though. I'm sure there's ALOT about my scoot people can't stand.
My opinion is; I don't like them at all....brypink has it, they don't flow with the lines of the bags, I personally like the color matched ones, then they just kinda blend in...
Billet has become a 'theme'... and I don't see any other billet items on your bike... so it kinda sticks out like a third thumb. But you've got the billet bug now, get busy and finish the job.
