    Just purchased a Honda Shadow 750CA 08. Wondered if anyone knows if and
    where I can get white wall tyres for it?

    BTW, I'm not a dab hand with a paint brush so Dulux is out :)

    Thanks,
    Alan

    supplied the Continental ones for my old Drifter . Never seen a 750
    Shadow but if it has chain drive then the rear whitewall will be
    fucked inside 1000 miles.
    DAMHIK.....

    I've been rapidly coming to the same conclusion.

    It's a cruiser, therefore it's shit.

    Nuff said.

    Yup, I'm with you Steve. I reckon if you put the US market into the equation
    for cruisers then worldwide cruiser riders would out-number all other types
    of bike put together. The sheer low down torque make them a joy to ride,
    wind or hill what may, they will sit at 75-85 all day. Not like all those
    high end BHP jobbies that conk on hills and heavy wind. All other bikes look
    anonymous to me (all dull looking and all the same). But a cruiser will
    always look great with all the customising and all.

    Ah, just me being a snob :)

    UK=OK

    You've obviously never ridden a large capacity sports bike then. It'd
    be an idea to keep your ill-informed opinions to yourself until you
    have a clue.
    And cruisers are usually V-twins, painted black, and have lots of
    garish chrome - hardly imaginative or individual.
    Correct

    Sometimes appearances are _not_ deceptive.

    that's true, but if you're talking PTWers, then the C90/clones thereof
    really is the most-ridden.

    Yeah, I was being pedantic because he wrote "bike", rather than
    "motorbike".
