I think narrow whites would make that beautiful blue pop.
No! my bike isn't blue.

I really like the thin white walls on my bike. I think most classics look great with thin white walls. The THICK white walls might be a different story.

Aw c'mon, what's not to love? And look how the whitewall contrasts nicely with the light tint on my LRS Road King Elite windshield LOL!

I am getting new tires on my bike tomorrow and I'm going back to the narrow white wall. I went black wall this last time and I think the bike looks better with the narrow white wall.

Thin whites look good on mags.

Narrow white walls Yes, wide white walls No, just my opinion & everyone has one.

Wide Whites on wire wheels is OK
