| Can you even get whitewalls for Goldwings? I remember trying years ago for my GL1100 and later for the GL1500 and they weren't available. Maybe things have changed since?

None for the 1500. I guess you'll have to trade it for a Harley, if you want white walls.

Avon makes white wall tires that will fit the 1500 and some of the older bikes. Metzeler makes a front tire that will fit the 1800 but it is a bit different width. Kit

Whitewalls? Who's got whitewalls?
They grow on you after awhile.
The PO just had these put on right before I bought it.
Avon Venom 140/90-16 Rear
Dunlop K17F 120/90-18 Front
Good match and handling is excellent.JR

Yeah...that's what I'm talkin' about! Sadly, I have the narrower profile '80 tires that they don't make in whitewall.

| I went blackwall on my cruiser. I'll stay the same on my new wing. You can take any super duper clleaning solution you want - whitewalls are still and extra P.I.A.- no matter how ya cut it. They sure do look nice - but I think blackwalls are nice looking too and I'd rather spend the extra time on a safety check - or riding.
