Bike jack might be the answer!!! Waiting for that I just have to bend time to time. Just about the only reason to bend now a days ;-) White walls it is, definitely!!!!

Bike Jack IS the answer. When I set up nice and high... I place 4 plastic milk crates around the bike. one at each tire, each side. I simply take my cleaning stuff with me as I move from crate to crate. I know everyone claims their stuff is spray on hose off... yea ok... I use a soft small brush from auto store to get in and around spokes. A simple scrub brush for WWW's. spin the wheels as you go. The rest is cake.

I am considering going the other way, changing to WW, BUT I wont be changing my wheels, as much as I love spokes I don't wanna run tubes in case I need to do a roadside repair. Just concerned how the black spoke wheels will look with WW's, any pics anyone?

Personally I think the extra "work" to keep em clean is worth the classic look!

If you got a RKC keep the WWW's. Keep the spokes too. If you change the rims and tires it isn't a RKC any more. RKC is one of HD's finest.

Before going on a ride on a nice Summer day, I usually wake early anyway, and go out to wash and shine the bike up. Just another part of the whole enjoyment of having a Harley. The extra effort of the white walls is just a bonus, lol.
