To top this off the people here on the forum have a habbit of removing your posts when you bash a sponsor which is totally wrong. I laid down the facts which were all true and they removed my post. I believe other members have a right to know how some of us get treated like dirt. There is no way my post should have been removed i checked for over an hour and its gone this is censorship and should not be allowed by the forum. we have the right to let members know our experience with these dealers so they can make an educated purchase. The vee rubber tire i got from Ride Wright was a piece of crap and they were charging me $300 for it. I sent it back and they broke my ***** and half stepped on a refund. I got one but not from them from the dealer i went through when i made the purchase check this link its all thats left from my posts ride wright said i was the only one complaning check the tire and the poll over 90 out of 100 said they would not accept the tire so i guess ride Wright is full of it

Its not as white as the DB tires but i dont clean my tires much either...its no show bike. All that being said mine has been decent but who knows what you would get. Maybe mine was the best one they ever made lol

The tire that is on the bike now was super white when I put it on but has faded to a bit of a yellowish color. I am sure if used some bleche white on it it would get whiter but I really don;t care. I am still afraid bleche white will damage my rims somehow.

My bike is not a show bike either so it is what it is but next time I'll ****** up a diamond back for the front of mine as well. I bought a stack of the Vee rubber tires and I think I still have two left but I'll let them sit and do diamond back.

I have a buddy who brings his bike to the shop who has the Vee and it is super bright white and he uses the bleche white on it. So, results may vary. Regardless, it is what it is and you get what you pay for. I figure a diamond back will last me at least a year with the riding I do so I'll try them out. Even at cost for me they are still outrageous but with all the money I have spent on my softail why the hell not.
