Wesley's works good if tires are really grimy. SOS pads work too.

I just switched to BW's. I love the look of WWW's, but there are only a few tire options, and they are a PITA to keep clean. I washed up the bike once since the switch, and my wash and dry time was cut in half.
If he's willing to put in the time to keep 'em clean, I think they would look awesome on his white RK.

What everyone has suggested for cleaning...having a bike jack really makes it a lot easier. It takes just about 5 minutes longer to wash the WWW's with a jack and magic erasers than similar black walls.

What did you say? "White walls bad on a white bike?" lol. The only thing i hate about them is cleaning them. When I pull into a parking lot or at a bike night, I deffinately stand out. Especially since i got there an hr after everyone else cause I had to clean my white walls.

I love WWW on a bagger, especially if its a 21" wheel. I think they look good on all colours. Saw a 2 tone root beer SG with whitewalls and it looked hot.
We all clean our bikes to keep em looking sweet so its only another 10 mins or so and WWW are done.

I understand those who do not like the look of whitewalls. Where I live I really don't see too many bikes with WW. But if you like em they really are not that hard to keep clean and doesn't take long if you have a jack. I clean my bike probably every couple of weeks. Cleaning the tires and wheels takes between 5 and 10 minutes. The key is not to let them get too dirty or the bike if you want to keep the bike and tires looking good. I have 40,000 plus on my RK.
