Front Tire questions

[SJR]

I am fairly new to the board.....In the process of having my 2010 Ultra Classic converted to a CSC Daytona.
Obviously, it will have two new rear tires.
I currently have the original front tire on the bike with pretty good tread remaining.
Should I retain it or install a fresh new front tire and if so, what type would you experienced trike owners recommend?

I'm in the same boat. Had my 2007 Street Glide converted with the CSC Daytona and I'm running the 402 tire I had. When it wears out I may use something else. You will find a lot of information through-out this forums on what people are using. Ride Safe and I've really grown to appreciate my TRIKE combination. It looks and sounds like a motorcycle.

If it has low milage on the tire keep it..I converted my 96 ultra awhile back and kept thesame tire on it with no problems..I hope you are going to change out the triple trees for easier steering and add to the length of the forks..

Yes...I ordered the Power-Trak easy steer system as part of the deal.

well hope u enjoy...There maybe more things u may have to do but over all sounds like you have the main stuff ordered up..

How about reverse?? I would recommend a reverse gear..

I decided to go with a separate automatic reverse.
Figured it would keep my warranty in effect.

I run the stock front Dunlop on my kitted Ultra and have found they will go just as far on a trike as they will on a 2 wheeler....maybe a tad farther. I have replaced fronts at 23,000 and the next one was around 45,000. Expect 20K and better. I could have pushed mine out to around 25K, but we all have our comfort zone.
