Anyone ever installed a white leather seat with white grips?

How did it work out? Hard to keep clean? Got any pics?

I've always loved that look! But I always worried about how to keep them clean (especially the grips and floor boards). I saw a cool accessorized Road King at the Harley display in Daytona last year. Grips were filthy ! Of course they get touched by hundreds of people, but just still. Looked cool as hell tho!

Guess it would be ok....but then you'd have to score some white boots and a blue rhinestone studded jumpsuit...

Here you go. I just clean grips after each ride with Plexus, easier to keep up with.

Your bike is sweet! I'd love to have a Heritage as a second bike in that scheme.

I have white grips. They clean rather easily with Windex. When I detail the bike I use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser which really cleans them well. I won't have anything white that my butt or feet touch. It would just be additional parts to clean and there is already enough chrome and spokes to keep me busy.

That's the look I'm after. Very sweet! Thanks.

When I first saw my Amber/Silver RK online I envisioned that kind of old school vibe. I think that color will look sweet with the bag rails, white grips and seat, round horn cover, round bell AC, etc. Thanks much for the pics.
