Wide white walls on my LT

Chicago_Cheech · 04-13-2015, 07:53 AM

It's not the look everyone wants, but I put wide whitewalls on my big Vulcan.

In two years and 10,000 mi the rear tire was about gone. It took forever for the back-ordered tires to come in. I got it over to the shop last week and picked it up Friday. Before I did it I messed around in Photoshop mocking them up, photo at http://tinyurl.com/p6gu4r2

They're the gen 2 Dunlop American Elite tire

They look good. Some bike look better with the white walls. I had them on my last bike. Just hated cleaning them and the spokes.

Cheech....that's a beautiful LT you have there....I love the color of that year and yes, those white walls go great with the rest of the theme. Yours is the first I have seen like that set up that way, very very nice. Might make a few Road King riders a little envious Amigo!

Thanks all. Yeah hlknvlcn60 I've always really liked the look & the color of my bike. Except for the engine guards and a couple chrome bits it is bone stock. I bought the LT in 2013; it's a 2010 that had only two miles on the ODO.

I am completely thrilled with the way it looks and rides.

Very nice. The studs, leather bags and white walls are a great combo

After two years with a sagging sissy bar bag I bought the Cobra luggage rack. I finally bought it after really kicking around whether I wanted it on my bike all the time for just the 3-4 trips it will get used. Anyway, here it is....
