Welcome to the Gang from Western Colorado.
Since this post is in the HD conversion forum, I'll assume you ride a Harley conversion. But, we all know what it means to assume .. LOL.
I would look into the Avon trike tire line. They are getting great reviews.

Avon has a new Trike specific tire called a Cobra Trike. It is relatively inexpensive and I have been substituting other rear application tires for the Cobra. Give it a try, it won't be worse than the standard Dunlop 402 you have in the picture.

First, welcome to Trike Talk Richard! Glad you found us! You have a real nice looking trike!
Second, +1 on Jim's and Fuzzy's recommendation of the Avon Trike tire! That is what I am running and am satisfied with the ride and handling.

Brand new to trikes, and bikes in general. Have a ‘14 48 and am researching converting to a trike. Have been told a sportster doesn’t have enough power to convert. Anyone have any insight on this statement? Have been looking into Frankenstein conversion - Good, Bad, indifferent?

I went with the Avon trike tire it was nite and day difference . It works great no more head shake.
Sweet Ride ... very nostalgic lookingI have Torbleau trike 1998 fat boy front 8541 miles it was set up as all hand controls
Another positive review for the cobra trike tire just had it mounted and after putting 400 miles or so it is amazing the difference between the bridgestone that came stock on vulcan 1700 and the cobra.. The handling is super improved corners better no more feeling of plowing through a turn rather the feeling of being planted and also tested it out in the rain. Tried to do doughnuts in a parking lot and had a hard time trying to make it skid this tire makes you feel like your on a tail also i got it for 114 at dennis kirk
Hello and welcome to the forum.
I did a conversion of an 883 Sportster years ago and it was powerful enough and it was converted with a Frankenstein conversion. If you go with their conversion buy the whole kit. Frankenstein makes a very good conversion and I found it to be very well made.
