I am looking at converting my old 92 FXSTS Softail to a trike fro the wife. She had a Stroke a while back and I think 3 wheels would be a good idea now. She really likes the wide tire look. I ride a rigid with a 300mm rear and she said “at LEAST that wide”.
Saw a trike down at Sturgis a few weeks ago; it was using a Frankenstein kit. I really liked the look, fenderless, and super wide rears. Took a couple of pictures but unfortunately I did not get the tire size. By the tread pattern they look to be Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R. and looked like the “right size” to me.
I was considering the 29 x 18.00R15 but was concerned if the tires would just look too TALL and the effect on gearing. So stepping down to a 26” tall tire gets considerably narrower (26 x 12.00R15). I hate to buy a set of tire and not like the look.
So after all this rambling I guess what I am asking is, are there any of you out there that have some guidance for super wide rears and/or pictures of some wide tire trikes with known tire sizes.
Thanks, SCUM
