I love them, but they have to be on spoked wheels for me. Doesn't matter on the bags so much.

Same here...yeah it's a little extra maintenance, but if your cleaning your bike anyway, it adds only about 10-15 minutes extra. It's worth it since they look so good

As a kansas Jayhawk fan, it just couldnt be passed up. My issue is, I still really like the look of the wide whites on the classic. I believe they're dunlop 402. Im due for a new rear tire in about 2 weeks ago... I want to buy the wide whites but have never seen them on a standard with hard bags. Anyone on here have one I could see
I think there are 3 different pics in my profile; '07 FLHR w/ Metzelers WWW

bhm07, looks great with the 21. I'm looking for that tire for my 21" Ride Wright Fat Daddy 50 spoke, I have a blackwall on there now. Who makes that tire and where did you get it?
