Default White Walls or Progressive 422s
I'm not sure which one should be my next purchase. I know the bike needs both, but I can't do them at the same time. Please give me some advice. Below is how it sits right now.

Buy the WW's and save up for a Shotgun Shock instead of the 422's?

That my other dilemma. I want the bike to look good for now because in a year or two, I will be going with the Shotgun and 21"/18" rims. I don't want the wife to kill me yet. I have only had the bike for a week. Lol.

Then your answer is clear. Buy the WW's now. The 422's are wasted if you're going SG later. But the WW's are still cool no matter what!

Yes I know the feeling. We had our bike only two weeks when I changed out the pipes and then another two weeks after that when I went down to JD at Shotgun shock and had him install our Shotgun shock system.

Lucky POS! Would be cool as hell having installed by "factory" so to speak.

My suggestion would be to go for the WWW's. They would go perfectly with your bike. The only problem is that you have white fenders which means that you would have to keep those white walls really clean. Otherwise, when they're dirty they will stick out more in contrast to your white fenders.

Small price to pay to look bad azz!

My vote is to not buy either.
You've only had the bike for a week so just enjoy it for a while before you start dumping money in it.

More than likely your priorities will change as you start to notice other bikes and upgrades that they have.

Just my 2 cents.
