Default White Walls on a Fatboy LO?

Ive thought about it before, I like the old school rat hot rod look but because im not a mechanic and like to ride and not work on the bike all the time, i have a Lo. What does everbody think about whitewalls about white wallls on a black denim lo. If anybody has done it or can photoshop because im to stupid to figure out how, can you post some pics. Thanks and have at it, i can take the smarta22 remarks.

Seen them on a denim deluxe and it looked good. My only concern would be the fat Boy wheels

Here's a quick PS

bobber i think your right about the rat rod being stripped. I just like the look of the old hot rods and dont have the time or money to buy and work on a old bike if i could. So im trying to go with the theme that the Lo gives with the flat black paint. ?

Just put a set on my heritage. I love em, that being said IMO i just dont think they would look right on your fat boy. But in the end its not what we say it is what you want.

Kozy22, thanks for the pic. I like it, throw some bits of red here and there it might work. You know, something different. probably the worst part is keeping the WW's clean

Fatboy lo got the 200 tire on the back ... going to be expensive to get a white wall on there. Nobody makes one. You have to custom order them just like the guys with the Xbones. There is a thread about that somewhere.

Found the thread:

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...l-tires-5.html

Post 48 has the link to the company that makes the custom ww tires
