Just thought I'd throw my two cents in.... many times I see the comments made about Avon and Metzler making whitewalls and indeed they do. The problem is that there are only two manufacturers that make whitewalls in our stock (or as the case may be for the front, reasonably close) sizes. They are Maxxis and Dunlop.... both will require you to modify the front fender brace to accept a 120 tire. Also, Dunlop, and I have this direct from the factory reps have suspended production on a great deal of tires which includes the whitewalls that fit our bike. As it stands now Maxxis is the only game in town. If you are willing to change out rims to different sizes as did Lee by going to a 21" there is no manufacturer that you can get both a front and a rear in the size we need, rear yes, front no. Sorry for the babbling and repeating myself just wanted to make sure it was clear.
All that being said, I have (had I should say) the Maxxis whitewalls on my bike.... was quite pleased with them, only about five thousand miles on them before the bike got wrecked but they were holding up really well, no visible wear and plenty sticky enough for rippin' up North Georgia.
