Where are all the WHITE WALLS?
« on: March 16, 2012, 09:14:12 PM »
I am just perplexed to find the limited amount of wide white wall tires out there for cbs. My bike runs a 19 in. front and 17 in. rear and i can't seem to find ANY white walls that will work. Shinko 777 makes a wide white wall in a 100/90-19 which is just fine but for a 120/90-17 or even a 130/90-17, its only black wall. what the *%$&&^&*# shinko? anywho, if anyone has any suggestions as to where i can get some good white walls in a 100/90-19 and matching 130/90-17 it would be GREATLY appreciated.

the bad thing with the fake ones if they are not set good between the rim and tire they will come off at high speeds and on a motorcycle that could be very dangerous. i know on cars if they come off, they will tear the heck out of your wheel well and quarter panel that is if half off it is still attached which is 85% of the time. i seen guys just paint them on they look pretty good or on ebay there is a guy that sells them panic cycles. or cocker's tire
