I think you were alittle off base there, I don't care for white walls but to each then own. I think they look best on the vintage looking bikes.Thats my 3 cents keep the change.

it looks cool on some bobbers and the nightsters if they are black

sportsters did not come with whitewalls in 1957 so putting on a stock one today looks a little weird

only the big twins had them in the early days, the sportsters were performance bikes.

get someone to photoshop a picture of the bike so it has whitewalls, to see if u like it
