This is one of the perks of owning/riding a Harley. Rule #1, there are no rules. Edited P.S., I run wide white walls but it's not a F.B., I ride a Deluxe and I could not imagine my bike without white wall's!!! Guess I am an "old timer" after all.

I love my wide white walls, but then again I ride a Heritage. And come to think if it, I don't recall ever seeing a FatBoy w/ white walls in this area. Do whatever you like. It's all in what your taste is.

It's yours, do what you want. Whitewalls are cool, if they get you the look you're after.

White walls are for the fifties or for someone who has a glutton for punishment. However if your in the 90% on here that have millions and pay someone to clean and shine it -- go for it. That's the rules and I make them on here.

Again, being honest, I think a bike with dirty black walls looks worse then a dirty bike with white wall tire's, all IMHO of course. Oh, and I clean and detail my own bike. I could never find anyone who would do as well as I do so I would never pay anyone to do my bike and have it look less than it would if I had done it myself. I'm not only a chrome *****, I am a fanatic when it comes to dirt, dust or bugs on my bike. I just won't have any of that, period!!!
