Whitewalls?

Anybody have a picture(s) of a green and silver Nomad with whitewalls? I'm trying to decide if it would look good or not.

I was implying that whitewalls are for the old guys...
It was a joke...

My wife has wide white walls on her Victory Boardwalk.
They are a pain in the butt ( not to mention my back and knees ) for ME to keep clean.
I have black walls on my Nomad, I don't think the whitewalls are worth the extra work.

Waving

Check Nashville craigslist there's a green nomad with the whitewalls at a great price if any one is looking. I'm thinking of putting whitewalls on my green 06 but don't think it would be worth all the extra work.

Gonna have to make a sticker that says '59 is too young for whitewalls' and put it right next to the 'loud pipes save lives' on one my helmet LOL! Ok... maybe not...

Seriously though, I like whitewalls on the right bike and the right color, like an old Indian with tassels and all, think it would look great. Nomad... not so much, maybe on the burgundy as you say, I can dig it.

I like WWW on most big V twin cruisers, it makes them stand out better.

It's just like loud pipes. Whitewalls save lives. Easier to see at night.

Heres a Green/Green.I think they suit the bike really well,but as others have said,they are not easy to keep clean.I have to jack the bike up and take the bags off to clean the rear.Having tried all sorts of cleaning methods,i find wire wool and washing up liquid is best,washed off with a hose.
