I'm thinking purple stars and multi-colored polka dots.

Your bike looks very nice.
Take the covers off.... squirt lighter fluid on em and set them on fire !!

I vote You take them off and put them in a box and send them to me. I may be in the minority, but those covers would look great on my scoot.

I bought the plain Harley ones on a three week road trip with the wife and never had time to put them on while traveling because of the cheap Velcro. If you had to buy a new set I would go with a set that slips onto the front and back like the mustang brand. I think my Harley ones look like crap and take a lot of stretching to get them to fit correctly which is not a one day process. Just dealing with installing the Velcro is a two day process. I do only use them when the wife is riding because she aims for the saddle bag tops when getting on and off, but from all the times I've used them I have no new scratches from having them on.

On your bike I think the covers with the flames look good, I like the small details.

The more I keep looking at the covers the more I say run them. The majority say ditch them and I like bucking trends, to a degree ! I did after all install a stupid bigger front wheel !
