Can anyone find white wall tyres for a GS550?

[zincoxide]

Desperately trying to find white wall tyres for this bike (well it's now a chop) with the front 19" x 3.25" and rear 18" x 3.75".

Blackwall are hard enough to find but these white walls seem to be like gold dust, anyone got any ideas?

I beleive you can buy "whitewall" inserts seperately, ask a Hardley shop near you.

I'm surprised Spitfires don't come in this size, lemme check.

Yeah, looks like a set of Spitfires - Bridgestone S11s - will fit those sizes, and have raised...

Oh wait, I thought you meant raised lettering. Nvm...

You can get "WW" in your sizes, 100/90-19 front and 120/90-18 rear.

Good tires, I use them (although not the whitewalls). Price is easy to take too - around $100 for the pair.

If you can't find anything else, you might try this product: http://www.mbzponton.org/valueadded/other/tirepaint.htm

I have been thinking about getting a few cans for my bike and my '58. I am thinking that stuff would be better than trying to shave the sidewalls on a raised white letter tire. I bought a wheel spinner (old wheel balancing tool) at the last swap meet I went to. If this stuff doesn't work, I am going to attempt to cut the sidewalls on the '58.

Are those not too wide?

My front is 3.25" compared to theirs at 4" and my rear is 3.75" compared to their 4.9".

Would they still fit?

I think Avon makes a set of whitewalls for older bikes. You might want to check their site.
