Ive done it without issue, but thats me. As for looks, oh yeah. You get too wide in the back it pushes the trike in the corners.
Ive got 8 or 10s on my shovel trike and never had a problem, even up pikes peak. Funny thing is Ive had the same tires on it since 77. Not much weight on them, and i used to run 12lbs air.
Ive built probably 6 trikes and designed a swing arm in 82 that many have copied since, older motor trike is similar to my design.
Ran the first disc brakes on the rear of a Harley trike rear end that i or anyone else had ever seen, and designed a sprocket kit to put a 51T on a Harley rear end designed for 37 tooth, funny you look at Frankenstein and you see what i sketched out in 82 and still have the paperwork.
Im not new to the process, but i retain an open mind, so i think, as for the rear wheels Ive never ridden a tri glide or a v rod, the more i ride my street glide i think of triking it, and the more i ride it i get tired of the heat.
So Ive been eyeballing v rods, mmm, put that engine in an extra touring Harley i have on the table, mmm, anyone ever seen that ?
Ride safe i value and respect your opine, and keep the rubberside down.

You close to mountain home ? My uncle died there in a training plane crash B-17 WWII.
My dad was the gunnery instructor there at that time, until he shipped out for 50 missions from north Africa into the belly of the beast. Germany.
