I have been running WWW for many years and have always had good results from using the wesley bleach white. I personally love the look of the Avon Gangster White Walls but they didnt handle wet weather or wear as good as the Dunlop's from my experience.

I bought my bike used and they came on it. I just had to replace the rear tire and went with a regular Dunlop WW since the etched "Harley Davidson" won't be seen on the rear. When it's time for the front I'll look for the etched one...it's a nice touch

Are those the chrome, 9-spoke cast wheels (41886-07 and 41889-09 part numbers)? Very nice. I've considered putting cast wheels on my RKC to go tubeless. The chrome rims do maintain a bit of the "classic" look over the other cast wheel options.

If you worry about cleaning them I had a 1970 Chevy convertible with a white top. The best thing for cleaning it was Comet cleaner made it look like new.

The above tire with the HD in the WWW are pretty cool, Haven't seen them before but I don't look at newer bikes much. Are these something that comes on the newer RKC?

These are on a '99 RK. Bought the bike used, and these were what was on there. I like the classy look of them.

These tires were on the bike when I bought it, used, in 2009. The date code of the tires were 2004, and while the tread was still very good, they were showing some signs of dry rot. I ordered what I thought were the direct replicas of what I had, but instead, they were the ones with HD on the black area of the tire. When these tires wear out, I'll probably try to order the right part this time, with the engraved HD in the WW. People always made comments about the good the engraved tires looked on the bike.
