Classic is not a classic without the WWW's. As mentioned the jack is a must for cleaning, but also a mechanics seat w/wheels and you can scoot around all 4 sides in no time at all

Why does your signature pic show wide whites then?

I'm really considering loosing the wide whites. I love the look but they are such a pain in the azz to keep clean and nothing looks worse than brown whites.

I love the spokes but I'm considering ***** Shiney street glide chromes.

Will this kill the classic look?
Your ride, your choice but personally I think the www's are the mutt's nuts.

If you're going for a "classic" look, then keep em. And the RKC has that look. Me personally, I'd rather ride then clean. I like a clean bike, but the less time cleaning, the more time riding. My way, is not the right way. Just my 2 cents as always. :-)

Default White Walls - Road King Classic

I've had my Road King Classic for about a year now and keeping the white walls clean is what makes this bike pop. I invested in a high quality, J&S jack not only for cleaning the white walls but to help with overall cleaning and maintenance. From there, I have found that a brass brush and Harley wheel and tire cleaner does the trick for making the white wall wheels pop - the brass brush won't scratch chrome or steel wheels either.

WWW in my opinion. I bought mine with out and couldn't wait to get the WWW. It really makes the look IMO.
