I always put the saddlebag guards on the bikes---to hold my drink holder, and it also protects the bags just in case......can't decide on black or chrome. Chrome will stand out and match the engine guard, but they put black supports on the bottom of the bags and I am thinking the black will blend in and not be a noticeable which would be a good thing. But will it look stupid not matching the engine guard??Opinions??

Imho.... CHROME

I would suggest changing the engine guard to black. Either by replacing the existing one or having the existing one powder coated, and using the black saddlebag guards. With the black front end I think that theme should be carried through to the other components of the bike and leave the contrasting chrome to the engine and exhaust area only.
Also, get rid of the reflectors on the front forks.
Just my thoughts.

Scoot is too pretty for saddlebag guards and drink holder. But if you do....chrome.

Thanks.....that pic was when I first brought the bike home...those reflectors are gone already!!!
Keep the opinions coming........
Thanks

Chrome Mike. Gotta match the engine guard. If that was black,I would say black. I think it's a smart move to add them. I never did,, but it sure does the bags good just in case,,, let us know what you end up doing. Stuart

Black and powder coat engine guard black as well. Chrome does not match theme set by the black front end. I'm surprised the engine guard wasn't black from MOCO.
-
I'd match the engine guard...so chrome unless you change to black.
-
Your bike should go with chrome-
-
Chrome. Well worth it. Lower saddlebag replacements are $1000.
-
Chrome. If you weren't putting drink holders on, I would say powder engine guard and go all black. I think the drink holders will vibrate and ware the shine off of the black guards.
-
Chrome :P

the drink holder is a leather pouch that I have had on previous bikes...no vibration of a solid mount holder

Powder coating the eng guard involves opening up the cooling system---don't want to do that.

I personally can't stand those bars, I think they look like handicap assist bars, nothing against anyone that needs that kind of assistance but I just think they take away from the lines of the bike. I bought these things from Yaffe's Bagger Nation, although they don't look very heavy, they are. Just another option for you.
-
Leader Motorcycle makes a nice cup holder with different ways to mount them.
-
I agree they do take away some lines from the bike.........but I like my drink holder. I don't really want something mounted to the bars.
I guess chrome guards it is.....
-
Good Luck........Nice ride by the way.

Thank you...and thanks for the suggestions.....

What the heck is everyone talking about?!? There is no black on that bike.
-
He he exactly!
Just goes to show suggest something and everyone runs with it.
I think the only 2 choices you got is either chrome or not at all!.

If I remember correctly the current saddlebag supports are black.....you can see them on the bottom in front of the bags.....I was thinking maybe the black would blend in with the bags so they would not be so noticeable.
But I am leaning towards chrome anyway at this point.
-
OOPS! The saddlebag support is black. I stand corrected.
-
Chrome I vote, but I'm partial to chrome :) :2vrolijk_21: I had to put the chrome mirrors on also. Why they stopped that this is beyond me. Ah wait to save $35 on the build.
-
the more I look at this pic I feel like the black would blend in and not be as noticeable....If I could just find a way to have them powder coated to match the bike.....
-
Just my 2 cents, the bike has chrome features all over it, lower legs, rims, dash, exhaust, etc, gotta go chrome. The black when noticed will stand out against the chrome and look out if place. :drink:
-
CHROME, i think it will really pop in front of those bags ;) and some chrome APES while your at it
-
Chrome vote here. :2vrolijk_21:

I think you have your answer.....don't fight it.! :jalapeno:

As the owner of two CVO's with a real dark blue paint (I know because I have checked) the paint on the front end that appears to be black is actually the same dark blue.
I would suspect that the same applies to your bike.
Chrome is the best option.
