Default Classic looks

Thinking out loud here, not sure how I want to deal with this.

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?

You're right!! WW's are a pain to keep clean!! I have to get after mine with Simple Green and Soft Scrub to bleach them out about every 400 miles or so...but they DO look classic and really make the bike pop when they're clean. I am looking into brake pads that emit less dust to help the tires look their best. I'm sticking with WW's and a lot of elbow grease!

Lyndal's have less dust?? My rear can't be seen much, but it seems thats the one that gets the dirtiest.

I love my WWW and the only way I'll get rid of them is when I buy a SE RoadGlide.
Clean them twice a week and don't mind doing it.

I'm thinkin' of losin' 'em when it's time for new ones on my RKC. But, the bike is white, & I'm worried it will kill the "elegant" look.
