    I'm after a bit of help on this one, did a search but can't seem to figure out all the info infront of me, lots of pics of whitewalls on fattys but no one is coffing up details, and the stealers haven't helped, just said it can't be done (I assume that means can't be done with a HD badge on the tire).

    Basically I'm really wanting to put some whitewalls on the fatty, Can't for the life of me find anyone that does them in stock size so next I'm looking at new rims + white walls. Rims something like the attitude max black spoked rims. (in look anyway, not fussed on brand)

    Does anyone know what size will fit a 2011 fatboy lo which will also take a whitewall? I'd really prefer Avons, and how much mucking around it is with the abs sensor thats in the wheel bearings?

    or is it just all too hard and i should just get the dunlops and forget about whitewalls? or can someone point me in the direction of a whitewall for stock fatboy rims?

     Sizes are front: 140/75R17 and rear 200/55R17

    so far i can't find anything with a whitewall, and in fact, if i want both tires the same, i need to go Michellin Commander II or Perelli Night Dragons...

     How many K's do you get out of a set Dickobigfish? I'm leaning towards the Michellins. apparently you can get a lot of ks out of them, I imagine the Perelli's are more expensive too
