Can't tell from the "sketches" whether the silver areas are raw metal or chrome.

If I remember right, the ones that have black painted inserts have a machined face, and the chrome ones are all chrome, so based on that and all the other chrome on your bike, I would get the 2nd one. Also I think the first one would look goofy if you didnt change the rear wheel as well, since it has no chrome, and your factory rear has a chrome lip.
