RWL's or OWL's on a Harley?

I just bought a 2010 Harley F-250 that is almost perfect. I would like to change rubber. Looking for opinions.

Should I stay with black sidewalls on a black truck, or would letters look good. Tire dealers say 85% are still white letter people. I like them, but am concerned theyll blow the look.

Also, will a square sidewall BFG A/T look goofy? A Harley is more a street look, although I'll drag it in the north woods plenty. Maybe a Cooper Discoverer AT3?

Just looking for thoughts... even pics if available.

Ht's and black walls. White letters are IMHO are for the 60's and 70's.

I am surprised that a company would even make OWLs for a 22" tire.

Blackwalls, White Letters should be for race cars getting paid to advertise only :-)

HD would look terrible with OWL/RWL, would blow the look completely IMO
