I'm guessing that's an EML trike because of the leading link forks?

All I know is it is marked EML and I believe it is a Dutch companyThat conversion is different from the ones we have in the states, who makes it?
You have a very nice looking trike.
Yes
I would like to get information on the forks look like removing the front wheel is going to be fun as there is very little room for removing caliper
Very Sharp, I like that wide tire on the front. Mine is small compared to yours.
It is using a 14inch car tyre
I just put new tires on , My stock tire/ rim size is 130/70-18 front . How did it change your ride with the larger tire?
Guess it requires the EML fork set up
Do you know what size tire it is and size of rim it's mounted on?
165-65-14 rim is an EML special
Any pics of your trike?

It would require basically replacing the whole front end. Triple tree, forks, fender, wheel, etc... And I'm not sure you will be able to find one as the EML is mostly available overseas. Add on that the most recent GL1500 was last produced almost 25 years ago so many aftermarket parts are no longer available.
Eurowing USA had a similar setup but nothing shows up on their website now and not sure if they offered it outside of having a full conversion done. Hannigan also had their 180 front end. It was a complete replacement of front end and a custom wide wheel. Theirs used a very wide 180/65R16 motorcycle tire but I'm guessing probably could also possibly use a car tire instead. But again, not available for GL1500's. And the Hannigan 180 front end would start at around $3500 not including labor.

Luckily I don't need to do anything other than a realignment of the forks to set bars
Going to fit some new rubber
They did sell the front end separate.I don't know their current status but there was a dealer in the Atlanta area. A member here put one on her trike a few years ago. Need help in las vegas
Looks good but not the same as the EFL I have
True but it's also an 1800
Mine also GL 1500

Looks great!!!

Looks a bit like yours! I love it too.
Thx! I searched border to border, coast to coast. After about 3 weeks of searching, I had it narrowed to 2 and was just about to pull the trigger on my primary when the 2015 popped up.
I am not going to lie it does! I just hope it runs as good as it looks!!!
One of the the trikes I was getting serious about was in Millington, TN.
I've never found what I wanted close by when I was ready to buy. Closest I ever got was Yamaha/Hannigan that was triked at low mileage and the owner passed before he put 1500 miles on and was 30 miles away. It was about 4 yrs before I pulled the trigger and bought my current ride. Both mine have come from Papa.
