I have always loved the WWW on bikes. I had 'em on my Heritage Springer. Course they really fit that bike as it was more of the nostalgic looking bike with the springer fork system.

I have the thin stripes on my '07 .... and would really love to have the WWW on them but not sure how well that would go with my white gold pearl paint. Might just be a lil too much white.

Might go better if I can get rid of my dual disc brakes and go with a floating rotor. That way more of the black mag shows to help contrast WWW. ... Just dunno right now.

Wide whites with any of the wire spoke wheels, just looks classy on any of the rides. I have narrow white on Ultra and all black on RK Custom, neither with wire spokes.

Of course this is all just individual taste. In my opinion, the classic looking models like the the RK Classic or the Heritage models, including the Deluxe and the Springerlook great with wide whites. The EG Classic and Ultra Classic look great with the thinner white walls. Everything else just looks better with black walls.

Wide White Walls is the choice for me. I like the old school look.

I used to never like the white wall look, but when I got my bike, I thought it gave it an awesome accent and now I love them.
same here, lol

Does anyone have an opinion on what the WWW would look like with the Road Winder wheel as comes on the SE RK?

I like the looks of white on some bikes, but way to hard to keep them white and dirty white walls look REALLY BAD.

I saw an Ultra a couple of weeks ago with wide white walls, spoked wheels and fishtail exhausts. Together, they all looked great on the bike. I'm afraid that WWW's only look best on spoked wheels and not with some of the stock cast ones.
