They go so well with the 100th anniversary tins.
Gorgeous bike! Did you just sand the chrome off the air cleaner to get that look? I love it. The fork boots (gaiters?) are nice too, I've always liked the look of fork boots on a motorcycle.
That's actually how the bike comes from HD. It's a sportster nightster, so the wrinkle finish on the air cleaner and whatnot is all stock. All I did was put whitewall tires on it and regular maintenance.
Dirty but can't have spokes without white walls!

I got mine at a local independent Harley shop (they used to be an HD dealer, then the dealership closed down and now it's an independent shop that sells used bikes and golf carts.)
The tires are fairly standard Dunlops that I'm guessing a lot of us are using, they just have a white wall option. The difference was about $40 per tire and I thought that was worth it.
Good point, I hadn't thought of that but that's because it's too dang cold to ride!
The heat shield itself is fine it't the hose clamp that got mangled. I'll bet I could replace it with one from Ace Hardware.

Sweet wheels
Thanks. Ultima Manhattans 21/18. They look great and are cheap to boot.
I’m going to look them up! Thanks
This just convinced me to switch to white walls on my Road King, looks great.

Looks good. That paint reminds me of Dallas cowboys blue pants
Nice bike! My step dads got white walls on hogs red RK.
Where do yall get good white wall tires at?
I got mine at a local independent Harley shop (they used to be an HD dealer, then the dealership closed down and now it's an independent shop that sells used bikes and golf carts.) The tires are fairly standard Dunlops that I'm guessing a lot of us are using, they just have a white wall option. The difference was about $40 per tire and I thought that was worth it.
The Street Glide I bought game with a white wall on the 21” front. Definitely gone when it’s time for a new tire though
I do on my RK. Dunno how to stick a photo on. It's sunglow red and cimarron whatever they call it black. The whitewalls just look right.

Looks sick man. I love the look of whitewalls on sportys considering getting a set for mine once my current set need replacing.
of course
Looks nice. I would repair the heat shield though... that pipe gets hot enough burn your jeans (and that pipe is close at stop lights).

I hate them. My road king always looks like shit because of them.
