Can photoshop be downloaded free or do you have to purchase it?

Go to the photoshop section of this forum and ask for help, I'll bet you'd have a new pic within a day or two. Some great (and talented) guys in there.

FWIW, I like WWW's on some bikes but I think YOUR bike would look best with blackwall tires.

I'm mostly interested in your thoughts about the WWW. I like the current look and I'm not a fan on the BW. Anyone good with photoshop?

I think for that bike the WW is best (the way you have it). I like the WWW on bikes like my Road King Classic.

+ 1 on the Wide Whitewalls...

Maintenance isn't THAT bad.
Especially if you switch brake pads to less dusty ones.

I think the www would look great with the silver paint job. Just keep in mind that if you dont stay on the www's they turn a nasty off white, yellowish cream color.
WWW give bikes a more nostalgic look.
2nd choice would be BW
Nice bike!

I use Wesley's Bleche White an a Magic Eraser to keep my WWW clean. Works like a charm!

Scooter - Photoshop is an Adobe product used by every serious graphic designer and photographer on the planet but if you don't have a serious interest in either, take the money you would spend in the software and put it into the bike! The photoshop suite will cost you the equivalent of a nice set of rims and whichever set of tires you end up choosing!!! Just Photoshop alone - on average is equivalent to a nice 21" front rim... There are other program's out there if you are interested PM me and I will do some research for you. Ride safe!
