I put whitewalls on my blackpearl springer. Sort of helped set it off IMHO.

Here is my deluxe with Fatboy wheels and white walls, maybe this will help.

Good luck on the decision.

I have a mint green Fatboy (kind of a nostalgic colour) with white walls. I think it looks great. The white walls really complete the look I like. I have had many comments about the whites. I'm sorry I don't have a really good picture with them on. I am embarrassed to admit, I have lots of pics, just not a good show picture, and my bike is in the shop right now getting a new rear put on. Getting 'er ready for a trip in June. WHOOHOOO!

As soon as I get her home, and after I do a good cleaning on her...I am going to make a point of setting her set up for a good photo shoot.

BTW: 2005FATBOY, I think white walls would look awesome on your scoot. VERY NICE!

Good luck trying to keep them that white!

Me personally I like Wide Whites on more nostaligic looking bikes but that is just my opinion. I am planning on WW on my Ultra after this season but I don't think they would look good on my Fatboy.

I'm thinking of getting white walls too. I do think wire wheels go better with white walls.

Here is my 06 FB to compare.

Sorry I am a traditionlist Fat boys have solid wheels with black tires, Springs and Heritage look fine with White Walls. But hey its your bike do with it as you please. I don't but nothing but mustard and onins on hotdogs either, so to each their own. Just my .02 worth
