Default Help me decide....getting new tires Friday
I'm getting new tires for my RKC this Friday. I can't decide. You guys are gonna decide for me...I hope. Blackwalls or stay with white.

I think Road Kings looks best with the slim white side walls...seen RK's with blackwalls and takes away from the classic looks of the model...just my opinion.

White walls for the Classic.&nbsp\\; I really like the way they make the bike look.&nbsp\\; I know they only look good when they are clean. &nbsp\\;

IMHO, WWWs are a requirement for an RKC.&nbsp\\; They really set off the bike's looks!
