Whitewalls look so cool on Harleys like that.

in between washes with Bleche White, I use "Scrubbing Bubbles Foaming Bathroon Cleaner" to keep the white walls looking good. Spray it on and wipe it off. It takes brake pad dust right off.

It wouldn't surprise me if the company was pressured to change the name of the product because it was too suggestive and/or not PC.

Hell yeah. I love white walls on a classic bike like yours.

Yup, and Dunlop American Elite white walls were my choice over the OEM Dunlops.

Mag wheels and white walls are a no no for me. Gotta have spokes. They are a pain in the *** to keep clean anyway. Saddlebags have to come off the rear, still very hard to access, and you really need to put the bike on a jack so you can spin the wheel.
