Because of the style of a naked bike, not sure it would look right.

If the tyres are the same in build/manufacture as normal tyres there shouldn't be an issue.

I wouldn't be a fan of the look, however, I do like tyres with the manufacturer logo painted white - but I would never paint them myself.

At my old shop i worked out i fought with a customer because he wanted the same thing... Im not fighting with you, but i sold him like some d404's or something for his fz6 and he came back a few weeks later with a parts list because he went down because they werent hot enough...
Cruiser tires are made for "heavier" bikes so the tread can last long due to the harder carcus of the tire. Im sure you would get Amazing Mileage out of it, but is it worth the safety risk... Cheers!
