I'll be the odd ball and say gloss... your frame is gloss and all that stuff is close to it. If you ever decide to go with black wheels theyll be gloss as well. I also think if everything is satin things tend to get lost and everything looks the same.

I just did a bunch of the things on my Denim Black Night Train in Matte Black. Everything turned out great. Matched the denim paint very well. Gloss would have looked out of place on a denim bike in my opinion.
The only thing gloss on my bike is the frame, the axle covers and the sissy bar and they kinda stick out, doesn't look really bad, you can just tell its different. Matte black all day with the denim tins. MY .02
Just an added item. I would do the signals as well. Kinda a pain in the *** to get them apart but well worth the time.
