I like this look as well but will wait for the tire manufactures to make the correct size whitewall to fit a front 21x3.5 wheel correctly. Right now a lot of folks here in the west are stretching these ww tires by sealing the rim as well as putting a tube to stretch the tire and lock the bead. The concern is the contact area (or lack of) when leaning the bike on turns, many have no problems running it this way but this is another topic.

...anyway here are some pix of bike running this config (21 w/whitewalls) in the front. Sorry about the back, many of these style bikes are typically slammed.

Canadadude, Thx for the compliments on the pix. I took these at the Hollister Rally a few weeks back. This look is getting popular here in west coast cali.

As for when a correct tire size will be available, I'm not sure when Avon or Dunlop will make a proper fitting 21"x3.5" WhiteWall tire, but I hope soon. I've actually seen where the "lateral line" (where the top crown meets the sidewall) is worn down into the whitewall. Not good, Just too close for comfort for me.

Here are some other pictures of this style from the Arlen Ness and Easy Rider show months back. Also some pix from LowLife-Kustoms here in Stockton, CA.
