Thanks for all the responses. I ordered the round chrome air filter cover and I am still considering the tires but the whitewalls and white grips look really great. I have a few months before the weather will be nice enough to put the new tires on but am leaning toward the WW's. If I don't like them I can always put the blackwalls back on.It is not the most expensive mod but seems to make a world of difference.

With the white trim on your seat, I think WW tires would look cool. My gal really likes the WW look, but I'm thinking more the vintage Firestones with white lettering.

I'm also thinking about bicycle style grips myself (black) just to keep the bobber look strong. But I really like the utility of my ergonomic HD grips, the get a grip model.

Good luck with that beautiful Slim of yours.

The white walls make the slim IMHO. They should market them that way

I think WW would look great on your scoot. They would compliment the white piping and stitch on your seat.

white grips / white walls - lose the reflectors and relocate the front signals.
