Looks sweeeet!! BTW, using a motorcycle jack it only takes an extra ten minutes to clean my WWW's. I do it at the start of the wash...Westley's Bleach and a Mr. Clean sponge and they come out pearly white! Some say they are a PTA to keep clean, but I find it to be 'quality' time with my bike. And you'll get lots of compliments for keeping them clean.
Ride safe.

Yeah I like the skinny whitewalls too. Maybe next time I'll go with those just to change it up. Beautiful scoot man!

I switched out my back tire to a black wall last year. I'm switching the front this year. Hey, I had to get my money's worth out it
I grew tired of the white walls. IMO they take away from the chrome spoke wheels.

I just finished blacking out my narrow whitewalls. I used Undercoating paint, got the tip off of the Corvette forum. It really blended well with the tire. One of the other members got it right, BW tires look good on a black bike. Also, as another mentioned, the WW takes away from the chrome. I personally do not like more than two colors on a bike, not counting the chrome. It also comes down to the type bike you have. The Heritage Springer is a perfect example, I would never have anything but the wide WW on that bike.
