Might look good, and I could use a change.

Maybe even paint the from fender white?

White walls would look great on your bike, But they only look good when clean. I have a Road King classic. it comes with lased wheels and white walls. I changed to black walls because I got tired of scrubbing them to get them looking good.

The paint on our tanks are very similar. This will give you a visual of whitewalls with a two tone fender. If you paint the front fender, you have to do the rear fender as well.

My rear fender is white, it just doesn't have the black stripe like yours. And, I have black mag wheels.

An old racer shared this with me. Easy off oven cleaner and SOS pad. Spray on and just hit it with the pad and comes out so bright. He did this with his race wheels when he had raised white lettering.

That bike is screaming for whitewalls! We used a product called "Puck-Off. It was made for removing rubber puck marks off the sidewall at NHL venues. Haven't seen it in years.
