It's gonna be hard to find a 17'' white wall. Harleys used 16'' and 18'' out back (not always, but a lot) and 19' up front, so white walls for those sizes are easy to find. I know a lot of Sportster's used 100/90-19 up front. Positive you'll find that in white. But that 17 may be tough for such a narrow size. Any tire made to "Harley" sizes typically carries that price tag with it,too.

Coker will probably be a good place, but they are notoriously pricey.

Back in the day, we used to use Liquid Paper or model paint to make our car tires Raised White Letter types. Something like THIS PERHAPS?

I like the low buck approach.
