RE: White walls or not?

We need more pics for the final decision. Please not small Pics. Im trying to make the same decision on an 08 RKC 9 spoke wheels with WWW's or black walls. The arguement I heard against Blackwalls is that the front looks to bulky

RE: White walls or not?

You could always paint the sidewalls in any color you choose. Try googling tire paint.
I'm not going to recommend any particular brand.

Use it to add white walls (or any other color) to your old tires then decide.

RE: White walls or not?

I personally like the raised white letters, but I haven't seen them on a Harley, seems it would set off a SG though, being it's
the "Hot Rod" of baggers.. I ran Dunlop 491 Elites on all my wings...

I personally can't stand the look of white walls on a car or bike. Too ghetto or something, can't explain it. But, to each his/her own taste.

It makes my bike look gangsta!! I like your bike too Jonah!

the TIRES were a deciding factor? [sm=wtf.gif]

It was Road King or Road King Classic for me. The leather bags helped me about 25% and the tires were about 75%. I even asked the dealer to put the WWW on the Road King and he said no. I even refuse to get a 21" wheel because I don't like the WWW option. There is a decent WWW for the 18" wheel tho...

Black wall tires for mag wheels, white wall tires for spoked wheels. Thats just my opinion.

RE: White walls or not?

Droped the bike off a the dealer today and told them to put on blackwalls. I live in DC and it is a hassle keeping the bike clean. Don't need anything else I have to clean. I still like them though especially on bikes with spoke rims. Thanks for all the pics, I'm sure this thread helped out more people than me.
