I have Skulls <pegs, Derby, insp cover, etc> + the Chrome Oil and Battery covers on my Roadster... I agree the skulls are bling on these bikes but for some reason it kidda just fits... If I got another in a retro color I would really like to follow a more classic Bar and Shield combo...esp on the Chromed battery and oil covers... BTW the plastic tabs holding your current covers are weak... becarefull once ya remove the original they could be "spent"

My first choice would be to go for color matched ones. I personally like the way they look the way the bike flows. I also like XL OCD'S idea about pinstriping one of your favorite emblams. Thats different and it's a cool idea.....Good luck..
