Just out of curiosity, how much money are you guys paying to have the tires installed. I've been thinking about some whitewalls myself.

I pay $25 to have my tires mounted and balanced. I take them off myself and bring them to a local motorcycle place.

Looks good! Did you do any mods to make the 170 fit? I have a Nightster and I was looking to go bigger then 150 on next set of tires.

Where can you get thick white walls? The only think ones I've seen are the vintage ones and they're a little pricey for me.


these look like what I would like, anyone have any experience/pics of them installed?
