Looks good, I say go with the white walls. How do you like that seat? I am looking to switch out to that style of seat but concerned about comfort.
Your input is appreciated.

I like White Walls in many circumstances, but I think they look "off" when paired with those rims you have - they look too modern to me and conflict with the vintage look of the WWs. Now, if you had spoke rims - they yeah, I'd do it. In your case, I agree with the White Letter idea instead.

Either way, best of luck.

That's a sweet looking bike. I think white walls would look good on it and would tie in with the tank, but white lettering would look good as well.

I just painted the Harley Davidson lettering on my Nightster last week, think it really gives these bikes that old school look. All the guys on sportys in my club are planning on doing the same now lol.

Which lights did you flip and where is the hex key? My mirrors just have a nut, and the turn signals seem to just unscrew from the switch housing they're on.
