Default White walls or Black Wall Tires

What do you prefer on a Ultra with stock HD 9 spoke cast rims? I have black walls now on a vivid black bike. I didnt know if the white walls would be too noticable on a solid black bike.

I like the look of the wide whites. If I had a black bike they would be on it.

On the Ultra I think the small white line looks nice. I also like the look of the wide white walls on the RK Classic. On a Fatboy, I'd go with a straight black tire.

It came with whitwalls, it looks good on full dress touring bikes, black on sportier street glides and roadglides look best. IMO

My Classic came with the narrow white, when I replace the tires it will be with the wide whites. I kick myself for not having it done before I picked it up at the dealer.

Nice lookin bike JB. I like all the choices, as anything looks good on an ultra, but if I had to rank them myself I would say first choice is solid black, second is small white and third is wide white.

The stock thin white line on the side wall looks the best in my opinion. I've replaced a tire on my black Ultra and that's what I put back on it.

I just put wide whites on my Ultra. IMO Wide Whites with spokes looks best.
