RE: White Wall Tries
I like them on some of the larger touring models, and on some of the older vintage models, but think they look like crap on just about everything else.

RE: White Wall Tries
If ya like the vintage bobber look then they'll look good (look at all the cool bikes from Sucker Punch Sallys,Flyrite & such). And 6066er, those are covered shocks (not fake shocks)on that bike which are exactly what sporsters from 1957 and several following years had. I like WW myself and might try a set for a year which is about how long it will take for me to wear em out anyway.

RE: White Wall Tries
They're not covers....

...They're an alternative that gives the bike the classic look while still making it, basically, a rigid. And they're EXTREMELY popular on Sporty Bobbers these days. They make them in several different styles I've seen....the ones in the link are just an example.

I was wanting to put white walls on my bike too. My husband took a picture of my bike and opened it in paint. After playing around he managed to make "white walls". Not the best but it gave us a pretty good idea of what it would look like.

I seen the not shocks on a bike in person, and those are not the "Not Shocks".

RE: White Wall Tries
IMO I don't think they would look right with the bike set up in it's current state,especially with the blue but if ya' bobbed her some the blue would look good. I forgot who's bikes these are,a couple from this site maybe but a couple pics I saved for my inspo.[8D]
Nice bikes who ever they are!
