Worse still - - - wire wheels without whitewalls.
That's a sin of omission which is beyond the pale.

That was a choice I considered for quite awhile Brian. You know the Road King I last had and that in some ways this is homage to that bike. Lots of cues taken from that bike for this one. That one had (at least part of the time) wires and wide whites.
More I thought about it the more I couldn't do it on this bike though. It's
all red and chrome. If it were a solid color bike I'd do the wide whites in a heartbeat. But the multi-color scheme with all the other powdercoating all over, at least to my mind's eye, really needed a solid black tire between the shiny spoked wheel and the beautiful red fender. I couldn't make myself see the wide white as a complement in that space. Would've detracted from the wheels in this combination.
Might wake up someday and decide I was wrong. If so that'll just give me an excuse to ride it more and wear out a set of tires
