Metzler 888 on the front of my wife's Sportster/Champion trike kit... 100/90/19. When I first did the conversion, the bike had a 21 inch spoked wheel with a 80/90/21 inch wheel. The bike rides and handles significantly better with the 100/90/19 on the front. If you have a Sportster with a narrow glide front end, a 100 series tire is about as wide as you can go although you can squeeze a 110 in there but it's tight. If you have a 2011 or newer Custom, they come with a mid glide front end so you can fit a wider tire.

I just put new tires on my two wheeler and went with the Michelin Commander II's... only have a few hundred miles on them, but so far they seem like a good tire.
