White Walls on 2008 1600cc VN

CelticCeith · 10-15-2016, 08:02 PM

Hello to all .....

I have noticed that several members of the forum who own 1600cc VN have put white walls on their bike ..... I love the look. I have been trying to do this myself however seem to be running into an issue finding a White Wall REAR tire the fits spec's (the front is no issue). The best I have been able to find, is to go one width larger then is presently on my bike.

Curious to know what Brand those who have White Walls are using??

Thanks in advance everyone !!!!

Most all mfg'ers have white walls, look under the size tires your looking for and it will tell you in the part # like for example 160/80R-16WW , I've run metzlers, dunlop, etc....

If by one width wider you mean a 180 instead of 170, then it is no biggie. Many guys run a 180 in the rear to get the tire the want.
