I lOVE the look of the WWW on this bike and can't see myself changing that.
Been dealing with the cleaning of them for years, and I'm getting up in years at 64, sometimes just dont have the energy to put the scissors lift out and get on the ground to clean them.
It doesn't' take long, but it takes a bit of pushing on my back and bones to do it.
It's getting that back rim clean that's a real pita, looks like we might have the same rim?
I know many have their fave cleaner for the WWW, and am sure you've tried a few, but have you tried a baking soda paste? I use a scouring pad with the stuff to keep the WWW clean. I just have the bike on a jack to lift the wheels off the ground and sit on my garage stool to clean.
I agree with some on having a black wall tire in back would look wrong. You might get away with it if you have 4 1/2" stretch bags.
I use Bleche-wite with a scouring pad, on a scissor lift, gets both wheels just off the ground.
And I like your 21" front.......was gonna do that but the roads here in Taxachusetts require full sidewall flex.........21" would get bent in the pot holes.

Tried black walls on my 2002 Road King and everyone I met said it didn't look right so I went back to white walls.
I don't know what the problem is with cleaning them.
Get the wheels off the ground then use water and a SOS or Brillo pad to clean them. Takes about 5 minutes. No big deal.

Im 64 with bad back and bad knees...........No big deal??
Love my white walls and wouldnt change it. When I first put a 21 WW on the front the black back stuck out like a soar thumb. When it was on the jiffy thats all I would pay attention to. Both white or both black.
