Hola mi Amigos and Amigas! Wadjathink of wide whitewalls on a 2005 Electra Glide standard???? It has blackwalls now which I don't like much. I do like the narrow whiteys but I just wonder if the wides would look good with my black alloy wagon spoked wheels??? Anybody got any pics of this combo so I can see what it looks like?? Here is a pic of my bike.

 

Wow those pics are kinda tiny, here is a better one.

 

I like mine. I do have spokes however. I think My bike looks kinda retro!

 

How did you mount your old school Electra Glide emblem on the front fender?

Looking to do the same thing this week.

 

Months back I sold my custom wheels to a local club member who had the wide whites in his EGC. With spoke wheels I think it would have looked better, but with the regular cast wheels, uh, not so much. To each his own of course. I think the wide whites look best on something that is more visually era correct like the RKC.

Having said that, here's a couple before and after pics when I did his wheel swap. They're decent profile pics so it should give you a pretty good idea.

 

I gotta agree with Butcher.... Think the wide whites would look better on spoke wheels.

PS: What a transformation those wheels made! Looks like a diffrent bike! is that a 21" front?

 

personally,i love wide white walls with the cast mags. spokes look retro but ive broken too many of them. i ran wide whites on my last road king for years. in the process of putting them on my 2006 flhri as we speak. rear this month and front next month,for financial reasons.

Yes, they are 21". and the rear is an 18". Yeah, the guy was pretty stoked!

 

WWWs look great on red powder coated cast wheels or laced wheels. Otherwise they just dont stand out.

 

I love WWW on anything
