I have to agree, the bike is really nice looking, but adding white walls would be a definite improvement on that style of bike.

Welcome. Nice looking bike. Really like the color. White walls will only enhance the retro look. Not sure what the bars look like.

Thanks guys! I love this bike more and more every day.

My dilema with the whitewalls is this, I plan on getting the DNA 52 Fat spoke wheels in the near future. If I decide to go with whitewalls, I'll need to get the 16" rims. My other thought was to do the fat spokes in 18" front and back, which no whitewall is made to fit. So, it's really a choice of whites or 18"-ers! What would you do? I know it's all about what "I like" but I am absolutly sold on both styles...I need a tie breaker!

Welcome. Your bike looks great as is. But, whitewalls and maybe a set of beach bars would look even sweeter.

Purty bike dusty and welcome to forum bro. I vote no whitewalls based on your future plans. Take a look at Dinger's rims/tires they look awsume on his Heritage !

I have spent many hours staring at dingers bike, with the bigger rims, oleskool54's bike with the 16's, etc...these damn Harley's! Too many options!!!!

I've also been studying WARG's bike, I think his bar's are what I am going to do rather than the Nash bars.
