RE: white walls
Last month, for the first time, I installed wide whitewalls on the wire wheels on my 2000 FLHTC. I'd always had the narrow ones until then. IMHO, it's one of the best things I ever did to enhance the overall appearance of the bike. The new look is simply beautiful. That's my biased opinion. Sorry I don't have any pics, and wouldn't know how to post one if I did.

RE: white walls
I repainted my 06 EGC with laced wheels, yellow pearl & birch white and used the metal tank emblems from 1956 and plan to change over to the wide whitewalls at the next tire change period. It gives it that nostalgic look.

This is not an Ultra, but it should give you a pretty good idea. I painted this bike for my friend and talked him into the whitewalls, he loved it. It did change the look of the bike dramatically.

RE: white walls
I'm going with wide white walls next time.
A friend of mine has them and they look great.
I wish someone would post some pictures of their white walled Ultra.
By the way, if you don't like wide white walls, I think black wallsare the way to go.
Just my preference, but I don't like the small white stripe on the factory tires.
