As one that have the Coker whitewalls on the bike and Yes they look very good!! I got mine at the time for $100.00.
Consider the tread pattern hear in Denver we have streets that are cement and are grooved the first time I hit one of these I thought I was going to bite the dust the tires grab groves big time....

The next tires I will look at the Added whitewalls inserts and look for a tread pattern better for today road conditions.
Just my 2 cents worth also be sure to check the air pressure in this tire I ran mine low Yes I did not check the air pressure as I should have as a maintenance and now my tires are separating at the black walls to the whitewalls.
I ride my bike allot if you just looking for show well this I think is a good tire.

I dig the bags.
The curve on them repeats the line of the gas tank and I think it looks great. I'd probably paint the tan tops of em to be shiny alum with a nice hard paint. just to tie in the color scheme.

I've got the bike back together after a repaint. It looks a lot better. the tires are form ebay 110/70/16 with port-o-walls. I haven't done any riding it yet but soon. Had the seat recovered and put the Buco bags on it. One of the lights in each bag is a brake light now the other still a dummy.

Jim,
Looking Good!

The bags fit really well.

Could you measure the tire height from the rim to the outer edge? From the size designation, they should be shorter than the 3.25's, but they don't look shorter in your pics. And what brand are the tires? I'll be needing a set shortly myself.

Thanks for posting the pics
