Default black or whitewall

I'm new here and wanted to ask. I have a 2004 roadking and I'm needing to put on new tires. Of course it came with whitewall tires, but was wondering if the look of blackwalls would be better, same, or if I should stick with the whitewalls.

In my opinion, if its a Road King Classic it should have the wide whitewalls, if a regular Road King, whatever. Ultimately it's your bike, your money, your decision. Do what you like. Good luck.

The whitewalls seem to be a pain to keep clean. Thats mostly why I'm thinking of changing. Any advice on cleaning them things?

I've got 2 bikes and they both have whitewalls. Yes they are a pita to keep up but I wouldn't have it any other way. IMO, they look so cool and classy. Just my .02 cents worth.

I'd put the blackwalls on it and ride more instead of cleaning the tires. Search in the detailing section of the forum and I'm sure you'll get some great ideas. Some of those guys bikes looks better than mine when it was new.
