shinko 777 is brand i have seen but thats all i can say on that note, it is a shinko after all. But on that note I have heard many stories of Vee rubber not making 1 riding season as well so who knows.

I dont think anyone is doing a wide whitewall for a 21----I was looking for one the only one found was a thin rib whitewall like on the 72 sportster. I opted for an old school looking avon for my front no whitewall

shinko & vee rubber are offering what you consider a wide white wall not a pencil white wall for the 21. problem is you dont have a lot of side wall like o na 16 so its not a very wide, wide white wall. But its wider than a stock stripe rib stripe on a 72.

We have ordered a few of these. Seem to be good tires. The last ones we got from them were Metzlers. I think this place gets tires, and then adds the white wall to them. I've had mine on for over a year now, and a buddy put his on around this time last year and white walls still look good on them. Tires are in nice shape yet, no leaks. Seem to be good. NOT the cheap Vee's or any other cheap imports.

I have yet to figure out why nobody has built a wide white wall tire yet! Seems everyone is going to 21's on the front, and if you have a classic, or like the looks of the classics your wanting white walls.

Give Diamond Back Tires a call. They can make you a 120/70 21...out of whatever tire you want. Quality of work is excellent. They don't list it on their website but you call them and they will help you. Alot of the Softail forum members have bought from them (including myself). Diamond Back Classic Tires, Conway, South Carolina 888.922.1642. They will transfer you to guy named Tab. http://www.dbtires.com For the record I am just one of their satisfied customers.

I just called and they are no longer doing these tires due to liability issues.
