Default Whitewalls or Not?
Hi Guys

thinking about putting whitewalls or the thinner stripe tyreson the Heritage and have not got enough imagination to picture it with them.

What do you guys think?

Shari

No more wide whites for me. It takes longer to get the tires white than it does to wash the rest of the bike.

I like the Wide White Walls myself for you guys with Heritages and Deluxes.
Just don't ask me to help clean those suckers or those spokes either.
