LOL …….
Was curious about the steering between a Tri-Glide and a Free-Wheeler. Is there any difference in the steering? Is it harder or easier on one or the other due to the larger/smaller size of the front wheels?

Texas; 254 counties and I have ridden through them all! Got my pin from my Congress Lady congratulating me on completing my journey.
I went from the stock 16 to 19 on my 2014 TG. I think it was a bit easier. Later we did a rake with a 21 and that was even better.
The Freewheeler steers with a bit less input from the rider. This may be in part from a smaller contact patch of the front tire, but it is definitely also easier because the weight of the front end on the TG is heavier, making for a bit more steering input needed.
The thing that affects steering the most on these Trikes is the rake and trail. You can see a write up on this subject at this LINK.
There are many ways to make the steering easier on both the Freewheeler and the Tri Glide. The amount of input needed should not be a deciding factor in which to get, since it is relatively easy to get either one to steer easier.
