Help finding Whitewalls?  Looking for quality whitewall tires.  Would not mind a slightly smaller front tire.  Any suggestions?  I don’t seem to be turning up any real options on the internet on my own…

There are companies out there that can add a white-wall vulcanization on any tire and are certified by tire manufacturers to do so..

I don't know who in the US would do so, but in Germany there is https://oldtimerreifen-moeller.de/

best of luck!

The biggest issue is finding tires other than OEM Bridgestone Exedra 701/702 blackwall. Supply kinda sucks the past year.

JP Cycles seems to have the Shinko 777’s in Wide Whitewall in stock. They are slightly off of the stock sized tires though. 140/80/17 & 180/65/16.

In no way am I endorsing Shinko tires though. I will not run them. Just passing on info for whitewalls.

Dunlop sells white walls
A friend of mine uses I think there called moonies there white wall rings that goes under the tire bead, they look real on his bike and can’t tell that there just a rubber ring, you can utube it

I have been running Shinko 777's for years on my bikes. I run 140/80/17 on the front, and 180/65/16 on the rear. I have had good luck with them. PLUS, they are about half the cost of some of the most popular brands.

They are NOT made in China, contrary to popular belief. https://shinkotireusa.com/about

Available @ $335 per set @ https://www.americanmototire.com/ Longevity/mileage isn't as good but if you want WW's the only other option would be Dunlop's but the front is a 404 and notorious for bad handling and wear. I'd use the Shinko's. You will have increased speedo error and slightly higher rpm's. running these sizes but...

I also have a Shinko on the front of mine. Just rode around 5700 miles of hard riding on super hot road surfaces with it going to Inzane and back.
I did have an early failure with one several years ago with a cord separation but it got me home with no air loss and Shinko stepped up to the plate and sent me a newer tire which is the one I still have.
