Default The Cadillac of motorcycles, rollin' on Vogue's!





Well, they do say Harleys are the Cadillac of motorcycles. So I thought, what the Heck, lets make us some Vogue style Mayo/Mustard white wall tires!!! If I hate it, I'll just cover it up. But it certianlly is unique. I must be the only guy in the world who thinks its cool cause Vogue Tire Company refuses to make motorcycle tires. I think its an untapped market, lol.

Anyways, just started with Dunlop's, ordered special tire paint pens that are supposed to stick to rubber, and drew the mustard on. I can touch up as the paint gets old. I guess we'll see it the stripe lasts the life of the tire.

What say y'alls? Yay or nay?

Dude it’s 2019, get rid of that camera that takes 1980’s pictures

I like mustard on my sausage, not my tires. What about a tire pinstripe that would compliment the bike’s color?

Love white lines tires on some bikes. I do not want to have to clean them. So I love them as long as they are no mine. If not a daily rider I would try them.

Good work on the DIY. Hope they hold up!

Compliment my bikes color? My bikes poop brown. Any suggestions? Lol

These pens come in lots of colors, Vogue tires don't. I thought a Vogue type pattern might work on chrome spoke wheels with wide white walls. I'm creative that way. ��

I expect if I keep the stripe, it will take many touchups.

The varied thickness shows the obvious drawn on state. Sorry, hard no.
