I just purchased my 2004 GL1800 with the Prowler RT. The only problem I find is that trying to make a U-turn on a small street is a bummer. Other than that I feel as though I am driving a tank. That is a good feeling for me. I already had 4 Canam Spyders and liked them very much, but decided to try something different.<br><br> Motogordo<br>p.s. What tire pressure are you using ? I have all auto tires on mine and it seems as though most are suggesting 18-24 in the front and 25 to 30 in the rear.

Glad to see others with wheels in the front. I run 15 psi in the front and 30 in the rear.

The trike dealers and suggesting 18-24 in the front. JTO

What are your tyre sizes on your Spyder ? I had 4 of them but forgot the tyre sizes.

I'm late to the party as usual, just ran across this thread.

"When parking on a lot I need an entire space. No more sharing the same space with other bikes."

I just pull all the way forward and my 2 tired buddies park behind me on either side of my back tire. I make sure I can pull out going forward so I don't have to back up.

When I park in a lot, which is very rare, I don't pull up, I stay at the back end so that an incoming car can see me before he pulls into that space.

that there is a reason why arrowheads and ship's bows are pointed and automobiles are increasingly aerodynamic and conventional trikes have narrow front ends. When I see a reverse-trike, I see a barge pushing a wall of water upstream rather than a clipper.

It's funny, but I don't see a barge being pushed by a Honda GL1800 and the water going over the sides of the lane. LOL. Everybody sees something different. I like things that are DIFFERENT, so as not to always be part of the crowd. Makes sense to me and I hope it also does to others.

I had a Spyder....And it cut through the air with ease....The only downside was the Tail Wagging the dog sensation...Which is soon forgotten once you learn Not to have a death grip on the bars..

I am running 24 in the front and 34 in the rear. ( auto tires )

Motor Trike recomends 22-24 in front and 32-34 in rear.

I drive a Grinnall Scorpion S3 Reverse Trike with a BMW drivetrain. It has a BMW K1200 engine.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If park your ride and don't look back at it as you walk away, well then you've bought the wrong vehicle. I don't care whether people like my stuff. It's important that I like it.
