With that light color on the bike its 'my opinion' that white walls would be a better choice over 18" wheels.
Its just too bad you can't have both.

Right now I have stock Fatboy bars with a 4.5 pullback rise from jpcycles. Comfy as can be, but I think some apes (about 12.5 tall) are what it really needs!

Really nice looking bike. Be careful not to lower it too much. I did my softail classic and couldn't figure why the ride went to hell. Finally realized it was bottoming out with 2 up.

I like it, but I vote no W/W. I'm loosing mine next tire change. I've never seen passenger pegs mounted as high as yours. I bet that makes for a cool look with a pretty lady on back!

Hey man, awesome bike. Looks great. I vote for the whitewalls. I love the Nash gimp bars, but I think they may be too narrow on your bike. I think a fatter, meatier bar would look better, imo. Either way your bike will look sweet!

Welcome to the forum from Az.. Your bike looks great, whitewalls would be a good look on your bike. You could photo shop whitewalls on your bike to see if it is the look you are after.
