I love this style on these bikes. I'm wanting to keep mine as a "best of both world" type of thing. Mixing the old with the new. I love these though. Keep up the good work guys!

Depending on the color of the bike - white walls with as many spokes as you can afford.

You know, when I decided on a Heritage, I just couldn't wait to get whitewalls, but once I actually got the bike, I honestly don't know how it'd look with them.

I'm on the fence with the WW too....everyone I've talked to who has/had them warned me...they're a constant struggle to keep clean.

Love the fender light....gonna do that one when I do up the front fender with rails and a new skirt. I'll replace the existing one with...hmmm...something cool...

Agree with what the others said,beach bars,fishtail exhausts,round air cleaner cover,seat rail would be a good start.

I just bought new rubber and elected not to go with WW. The colors of my bike (red/silver) didnt blend well with the white. But on some colors thats a standout for retro. Agree on the pain to keep them clean. If I ever move out of the counrty I might think about new paint and going all out retro, for now though I'd rather ride than detail clean.

Yeah, see that's what I've got is Crismon Red, and I just don't know how the white would go with the deep red and tan tank emblem and pin striping. If any of the photoshop guys are reading this, could you photoshop it on my, Joe Diver, and Slick02's bikes?

A jack helps a lot to make cleaning them fairly simple.
Good luck. I recommend them, especially with your color.
