NEW SHOES...

Its time for a fresh set of shoes... I have an '07 1600. I am looking for something in whitewalls but it seems like my options are very limited. What are you all runnin in whitewalls? And are you happy with them? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I think few will disagree that the whitwalls looks beautiful, but most everone agrees they are hell to actually keep white and lookig good. I used to have them on my truck and just gave up

My 2005 Suzuki C50T came with wide white walls. It was a constant hassle to keep them from becoming wide brown walls. I'll never buy wide white walls for anything again.

They are a bit more work to keep clean, but on some bikes its the finishing touch, I couldn't see my bike without them. Im running a Dunlop D404 on the front and will be replacing the ME880 rear with one before long as well.
