search is your friend.  it has been addressed many times.
but basically there are no white walls in the OEM size.

Rubber paint is your only option.  Many have tried.....and many have had mixed results.  Mostly nasty looking tires that turn yellow.

This bike belongs to a Wisconsin brother, if I recall correctly, his front is a 140/80/17 by Dunlop, rear is a 180/65/16 Dunlop.  He is on this board frequently, pic is from last years Inzane.  Hoser

That is my bike with the whitewalls, Hoser is correct on the sizes, the rear is only available through Hardley dealers, the fronts are available at most large MC tire dealers. The sizes are extremely close to the valk originals, they are bias ply not radials.  So far no negative impact for me.

The whitewall paint sucks in my opinion, like BF said, they yellow and crack in short order, don't waste your time and money.

Like CA said, do a search on whitewalls, there are several threads in the last year or so.

good luck,
Jim

Try the following link...I asked the same question and after all the great info on this site and tallking to others, I have decided to stick with the OEM sizes and structure. Bike comes with radial and it was suggested that I do not go with bias ply. just my 2 cents. BTW, i am not a mechanic.
