white wall tires
« on: January 02, 2011, 09:48:11 AM »
I know this is tacky but I just wonder what SESG in gunstock color would look like with white walls. I have always had white walls on my bikes. I just like the retro  look. any one have a pic?

IMO wide white walls only look good on spoke rims.

Oh yeah, just think about it.  Wide whites on spinners with a fire ace center rotating emblem.  But, damn, it won't work.  You'd be feeling the vibe and chillin' and the Fire Chief would put some pedantic post up on the bulletin board reading "SAFETY" and would ruin the chill with some lecture about why you needed to be careful with rotating fire axes.

 I have seen a number of CVO bikes with WW tires, and to me none has ever looked good.
Neither did the 2005 Banana I saw that had the Stingray Silver painter over in orange.

John,

   These two websites offer a few additional options which would bring a more "retro" look to your new scooter with or without the tire swap. The RSD engine covers are available in chrome as well as black and really look awesome on a bike.

I can't believe Spiderman hasn't chimed in on this thread. He's a big fan of those Left Coast White Wall monstrosities.

I don't think any SE bike would look good with white walls.JMHO...They were on my first Harley this 99'RKC when I bought it, I liked them ok, they were a pain to keep clean. Would not have them again. Gave this bike to my wife and had the Wizard of Oz graphics painted on it. She loved this bike. (I wish I had kept it).
