Jack, I'm not familiar with that tire, but this is the one specifically designed as a TRIKE front tire for his Tri-glide.

For what it's worth. I have that tire on mine. I put one on about a month ago and it felt a little "twitchy" right away. Kinda like I was just twitching the handle bars slightly but I was not. 1100 miles later, still the same feeling at speed. Dealer rode it and said it "wandered" a little. So they contacted supplier and got me a replacement tire (same kind) at no cost to me. Put it on last Thurs and have about 130 miles on this one. Still a very slight "twitch" intermitten at speed, but much better than the first one. Dealer went over all bearings and even checked out rear end when looking at the first tire issue, all good there. They are sending the first tire back to Avon, doubt I will here what was wrong with it.
I have seen a few other posts in the past about this issue on the Triglides. I hope this completely goes away as the tire wears in a bit, I really want this tire to work for me.
So, where ever you buy it, make sure they will back you IF you have this issue. Good luck.
Jeff, what method of balancing are you using? My Indie tech installed mine with Dyno-beads. It does way better than the Dunlop that was on it before. I haven't noticed any twitching, running 40 lb. air.
Can’t report yet, put it on in December, hasn’t stopped snowing since :Shrug:
Those with the Avon Trike front tire..what do you think of them now?
