1) It is your bike...ultimately it is your decision. 2) WWW are classic. 3) I have the RKC and think the custom looks everybit as good with or without. 4) The rotors are so damned big we can barely see the wheel anyway...so that sort of equals out the playing field. 5) When you are cruising...no one will be able to tell what wheel is or isn't on it. 6) Go for it if your gut tells you to. You will only regret not listening to your instincts. Lastly) Great looking bike

Still kicking it around in my head. I'm wondering if I go with black walls for now and next round I go with white walls + spokes. Gives me a little time to save up some cash for the complete package. Still might go with white walls this time around... I don't know. But thanks all for the feedback - much appreciated!
You make a very good point...
Pegs are Chrome and Rubber Custom Footpegs (p/n 50500-03) with 360 Degree Adjustable Highway Peg Mounting Kit (p/n 50832-07A). Nothing special but I do have them dialed in just right - so comfy.
Very nice!!
Good advice - thank you sir!
Here's my opinion - and you know we all have opinions...........
That's a great looking Road King Custom. You have a bike that is very special right from the factory. I wish they still made the custom. It came with blackwalls from the factory, because it looks good with blackwalls. Just like a Road King Classic looks good with laced wheels and WWW, your Custom looks good with mag wheels and blackwalls. If it were me, I put blackwalls on it and leave it black and chrome - beautiful. By the way, My sig pic is a Road King FLHR, so I can go white or blackwall

I've thought about switching to blackwalls because they're cheaper than whitewalls, but I decided to stay with them. The whitewalls just look good. Keeping them clean is not that big of a deal. I just use Magic Eraser to keep them white.
