Not to worry, those tires will be worn out before you know it then you can add whitewalls.

I have 2 in the garage (19 w/a 114 and a 05 Springer classic) and 5 in total. Youre never gonna wipe the permagrin off. Ride safe, welcome to the HDF family.

114 Street Bob. She's in the process of a makeover. Waiting for exhaust and new bars amongst other things.

Happily retired and now living in Pensacola, Fl, I just bought my first Harley as well: 2021 Heritage Classic 114. I've been away from riding for about 8 years, but decided it's time to return. It's apparently very easy to spend a LOT of extra $$$ on a Harley as I've already discovered. But, with a lighter wallet, the bike handles much better! Only about 300 miles so far, but loving the handling. Hwy speed seems to have a bit more vibration than I'm used to and wind buffeting is also poor with the stock windscreen (new 21" Freedom Works ordered). Couple of pics from pick up day at the dealer:
