I voted to keep the white walls, but I’d get black walls and paint the HD lettering next time. But the bike looks great.

I like White Walls and chrome. One reason I don’t like the new bikes.

Whitewalls look good, but the blackwalls just make bike look cleaner/less busy to me.

If your wheels were chrome I'd say go black wall...but they're not so the whitewall sets it off nicely.

I guess you’ve never seen an ‘18 Deluxe.

I am a fan of whitewalls when they are on the right bike. That bike is usually a two-tone bike with no "busy" paint job.

I prefer the blackwalls on your bike. You already have red, yellow and black in the paint and the addition of white just makes it too "disconnected" for me.

I'm with BoneDoc. I love WWWs. I have 'em on my deluxe. But on your bike I think the black works better with the overall package.

OK, 1/34 models has White Walls and a lot of chrome.
