We just picked up this Fatboy, and the GF was thinking about whitewalls. I have the ME880s on my RK and I think they look pretty nice; classic look.
Of course it's a black & white bike, and with the WW it looks pretty good. However, a white bike with whitewalls? Won't that be too white-wahsed?

Also thinking, we may go with either chrome fatboy wheels or Heritage-style spoked wheels.

What y'all think?

 

My vote is white walls & spokes.

 

I think a thin WW with spokes would look sweet ? looks badass now !

Too much white on white already. What be with the strap for the pillion seat? Take if off already..

 

Post pic in the photo shop section and ask them to give it white walls. That way you can see what it would look like with no risk.

Also lose the reflectors.

 

If it's her bike let her get what she wants.

 

If you go with spokes and WW. Might as well get a Heritage front fender too

 

Did a quick google image search, and found this one:



Personally, I'm on the fence about it. I like the old school look, but it is a lot of white in one place.

I'll second the suggestion of asking someone to photoshop wide and narrow white walls on a pic of the bike and see...

 

You just have to keep everything clean. With a contrasting tin color you can go a few weeks without scrubbing the whitewalls. If the bike is white and the walls are dingy, it looks like crap. Other than that, I'm with everyone else. Swap out to a spoke rim and add the deluxe style whitewalls.
