"Just barely whitewalls"

I never really understood the very thin whitewalls on some of the touring scooters but they are starting to grow on me.

Once they mature, harvest me a set.

I never cleaned them so when I bought a new set to replace the over 21,000 mile set on my 10 Ultra I went with black wall and saved about $50 on the set.

Not worth the money and the rear can't been seen hardly on the rear with the touring bikes.

I'll put blackwalls on my Limited, when the time comes.....Don't like the original thin line whitewalls at all, but not so bad as to replace them until I need to.

They need to be cleaned aggressively with something like a Brillo pad to make them really pop. I actually like them.

I like the thin WWs too.I find them easy to keep clean using the HD Tire and wheel cleaner.A couple times a summer I use a SOS pad,to bring them back to new look.

I hear simple green sprayed on and rubbed with a magic eraser is stress free white brilliance.

SOS pad....best way to clean any whitewalls and doesn't take long at all.

Clean them with good old-fashioned Comet.

I don't care for thin WWs. I like Wides for the front tire and black for the rear since you can just barely see it anyway.
