My bro has a 98 rk, I told him being that he needs tires he should do white walls. He doesn't think so being the bike is white. What do you guys think?

Definatley depends on the styling of the bike imo. A white RK with white walls and nice chome would be pretty sharp i think, love white.

The rear tire isn't going to make much difference because it doesn't show much. I would try a WWW on the front first. You should only get a couple of years out of it anyway if you ride much. After that, try a blackwall. I switch mine up with every new tire.

The problem with WW on a white bike is that the white on the tire is alot different than the white paint on the bike. IMO they clash. Stay with BWs

WWW's on a Road King look really good IMO. It's his bike though and he has to know what he likes.

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.
