My ultra has thin white walls on it. I like it but it is extra work. Arizona stated it best that if you have a lift it will make it much easier.

Good luck on your decision.

After thinking about this for quite some time I ordered a set of new tires on Friday ... blackwalls. Liked the idea of going with WWW, but just couldn't do it. Figured either way the bike will look great and I've now saved a few bucks.

Westley's bleach white will keep them clean without that much effort. Have 12000 mi. on mine and they still look brand new.

I went with blackwalls............easy cleaning, and looks better to me with the stock mag wheels.

With spokes, Gangsta whitewalls look badass.

Just switched from thin whitewall Dunlops to blackwall Continental Milestones on my 89 Ultra. I like the look better, and with 269 miles on them so far, I like the way they handle as well.
