Default Whitewall on front only?

I don't have the budget for lacing up a 16" for the rear right now and can't do it myself anyhow. So I was thinking about a whitewall for just the front of my SG. I've seen plenty of them on the rear only with a blackwall up front. And of course there are plenty of Harley's with a disc or mag wheel on back with a spoke up front.

My GL Big Bad Dyna latch solo bags cover up most of the rear anyhow so I'm thinking this would look OK.

Anyone seen this or have opinions?

I think it would look like crap. You asked for opinions.

I'm not a big fan of mix n match tires of any kind let alone a white wall on the front and black wall on the rear but why not try this get a white wall for the front and paint a white wall on the rear.

I like things to match so I would say no if only doing the front.

Personally, I like the WWW on a Dyna, granted the look you're going for. Diamond Back Tires can WWW any tire you were thinking of for the rear. I went Avon to match the Venom front. Tab's a good guy to work with.
