The whitewall issue is that the street bob has a 17" rear. Let me know if you find a 17" WW.

The Pirelli Night Dragon is an excellent tire! Now that' I've got a few miles on mine, I am extremely happy with my choice.

I was a bit disappointed when I first received it because it measures only about 5mm wider than the stock Dunlop 160 using a caliper to measure actual width. A tape across the tread does verify it's 180 width. The DIFFERENCE in the Night Dragon and the other Screaming Eagle 180 and the stock 180 is the Night Dragon is a deep V shape instead of shaped like a car tire. This makes the Night Dragon the only tire for laying into the curves and still having a large contact patch.

Where I was dragging the primary, pipes, pegs and, using virtually all of the Dunlop tread, I am now not scraping in the corners and have chicken strips on my tire! Because of the deep V shape it did raise my seating position about a 1/2" I think but the difference in handling is vastly superior to the stock tire.

Whatever route you decide to go with enjoy the ride.
