The mustang (vinyl) fits snug with no wiggle room compared to stock 17" but it is more comfortable than the stocker. I'm good for 1 1/2 hrs then I gotta get off for few min. The sprung rail seat (corbin) has a steel pan and thin padding with leather and it's just as comfortable for just as long. Gets alot of looks too.

I'm curious about the corbin classic solo for even longer saddle time but like you say...more money...ugh.

Your earlier version - sprung seat and fishtails - is the look I want - nicely done! I will be looking into sprung seats this winter. I just don't want to re-paint my tank to get rid of the script HD decal to get the 70's tank emblem I want.

Nobody makes the narrow white wall tires except HD/Dunlop (for 09-up)? They look better than blackwalls but not as much work as WWW. I've been on the fence for a while but looking at the pictures in this thread made my mind up to keep the whites.

Thanks

Here is my previous scooter, a '09 RKC, replaced the WWW's with black Metzlers.




I liked the looks of the WWW's but never missed keeping then clean after I switched.
When the time comes on my '12 RK, I am going to replace the skinny whites with blackwalls.

I dumped the chrome spokes and wide whites on my old RKC for Street Glide wheels and blacks tires. I did not like the WW and spokes with tubes are harder to repair on the road should you get a flat. Just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions....

Magic Erasers will do the job with just water.

If you loose the WW tires I'd lose the spoke wheels also. Spokes and WW'S go together. IMHO

If I was buying a Roadking I wouldn't get white walls. But that's just me. I bought a new FLSTC and had them changed to black walls. Do what makes you feel the best. It's your bike and not irreversible anyway. Ride safe.
