figured i would post this over here so more people saw it. it is from the picture posting section.  it was posted by eldrema. i thought about doing something like this for awhile. doesnt really look to bad with the whitewalls | ||

WHERE do you get whitewalls like that??? IMO those look tough as coffin nails and as hard as the hammer that drives them. Any clue what kind of tires they are? | ||

i was thinking about doing an old school look to a wrecked lightning i was looking at, but i couldnt find 17" whitewalls anywhere that i remember. | ||

I think those are just diablos, with the sidewall painted up. | ||

Okay, that is strange. I am the first one to admit my love of all things Old School,but the modern design of the XB does not lend itself well to a retro look. More power to ya, though.... --Sean | ||

Old Skool??? The oldest PRODUCTION XB is only 5 yrs old, LOL Me thinks more like new school with a retro look!! Not my cup of tea, but if ya like that's cool!! | ||

If it had a chromed muffler with twice pipes, it'd be da bomb! | ||

Do you think that poor XB left the factory and thought THAT would be its fate?  --Sean | ||

I like it. Works well w/ the red & the black. Don't imagine it'd look good at all though w/ any of the other colors... | ||

Slick, I like it. Just needs some lead-sled pinstriping! | ||

yep, they are white wall paint on the stock diablo's. i had planned on going flat black, with red and white pinstriping and some bright red wheels. there is obviously more that could be done, but i dont think its a bad shot. sure is a different approach which i almost always like even if its something that isnt my style. | ||

 That is all. | ||

It reminds me of the Delorian from Back to the Future 3 when it had white walls | ||
| Midknyte |
The more I look at it, the more I like it. The wrapped headers are the finishing touch if there was one... | ||

 WHITEWALLS..  | ||

Simply hideous! | ||

Different - Gives the XB an entirely new "look", .... I like it. | ||

Needs more matte black paint. Matte blacked out plastic, frame, subframe, chopped bracket, and it would be perfect. I like the look. I'd just like to see it go all the way.    I'm definitely sniffin' the verve you're spinnin'. | ||

I thought I was on the cutting edge with whitewalls on my Sportster ........  | ||

Just helped my bud rat his scooter. Before  Currently  Still a work in progress, paintshop goofed and put on metallic flake black instead of matte black. Working on getting that fixed. | ||

It looks way better on the scooter than on the Buell. --Sean | ||

It's not that bad But the XB is too modern looking as-is for the old school tires. It ends up clashing. Now if you forge ahead with flat black paint, good hot-rod pin striping and maybe some pin-up girl graphics, it might get better. It's your bike, do what you want. I'd rather see this than a buell chopper. | ||

the XB is too modern looking as-is for the old school tires. It ends up clashing. Thats why you have to complete the look with some apehangers and a sprung solo saddle:  | ||

Percyco, just wanted you to know I meant the XB, not your Sporty. (never want to offend)  } |
