I aggree, BW only on that color or narrow WW, maybe. Never park that color next to a pink driveway and take another picture. I threw up in my mouth a little.

OMG no matter what you choose it cant look as bad as that pink colored driveway.....

That said I think you would be ok either way depending on the look you were wanti ng to acheive.

The WW tires do acco plesh and finish off the nostalga thta your bike ultimately personifies But on the other side if you want a mor aggressive look and would like to add a toughness contrast you could go BW......I wanted to keep the WW look without having to clean the WWW so i met myself in the middle between the two and got a thin WW....I thinl oit looks good. Your bike in my opinion looks complete the way it is to me i do like it but it really depends on what your shooting for......another way to look at this is that you are lucky because you can pull off all 3 looks and effectively change the look and style about every 5-7000 miles.

I am thinking of going the other way, but do not have spokes. I would prefer narrow ww but I think you can only get them from dunlop

It seems I am in the minority about thinking that the WW's look really sharp on that bike - and usually I don't like them.

Those look a little dirty maybe give black a try after all you can always switch back in a few thousand miles.
