Does anyone else miss the narrow whitewalls that used to be standard equipment on Harley dressers?

My Limited is new so it won't need tires for quite a while but I saw that the Dunlop American Elite is still available with a narrow whitewall so I might have to get some with the first replacement. Anyone done this and maybe have pictures to share?

 

I just had an indy put on Metzler ME888 Whitewalls (got 'em from Dennis Kirk), because HD would only put on the stock BW rubber. I think my 2016 Limited looks so much classier in WW Rubber.

 

Simply put, no. They are a pain to clean. Keep it all black and ride.

 

Magic eraser and some water. In less that 10 mins, they look brand new.

 

I don't miss the white walls I had on my Road King.

 

I wouldn't have a Deluxe or Heritage without white walls. On the SG, i think it has to do with color, Uber yours looks good. Keeping a bike clean is not an issue for me, i am fair weather rider and putting it up on the jack, polishing the wheels, cleaning the tires, etc, with my tunes on and a cold one is all part of my HD garage therapy.

 

I liked the "thin" whitewalls on my Electra Glide.






The wide whitewalls, IMHO, only looked good on my Road King Classic.




My current Street Glide has neither. Just blackwalls. I'm not sure it would look good with either one.

 

No. Not me.

I'd Black out that sucker as soon as I got the bike home. Never liked White stripe or WWW's on anything........

 

I dig WWW's. The thin ones to me look terrible. The only time a thin WW looks good to me is on a 21" front wheel. Otherwise, I need the WWW's. I agree with Uberjason, bike looks much classier with the WW's. As for cleaning, Magic Eraser and bingo! "White" Walls Again!

Here's some pics of the bikes I've owned which all have WWW's and IMO have that "classy" look. Unfortunately, HD is moving away from this look but to me, there will always be a place for it.

 

WWW’s. Forever.
