Yep, I'd say you are Spoiled for choice. I'd have to go with the GL1800.

 

[Panel Man]

Certainly a great trike, the 1500 is good for short trips around 200 miles

Can you tell me what front tire are you using on the GL1800? Do you like it? Does it handle better the bike tire?
Thanks,
John

 

[Panel Man]

Car tyre on both
Can look at size and make tomorrow if you want

It’ll be interesting what size the front tire is. The UK/European Goldwings have a beefed up looking front end with exterior springs over the forks and a car tire, like US “Darksiders” run on the rear of two wheelers.

The EML forks run a split rim car style wheel
I will post a photo and size from the 1800 tomorrow

Now I see you don't have stock Honda front end. I thought someone had found a car tire you could mount on the stock wheel and forks.
My Gl 1800 2 wheeler was double darksided. The front car tire looks like it would work much better on the trike than a bike tire.

 

[Panel Man]

It holds well in corners

 

[Panel Man]

As promised. Tyre size and make

 

[OldRider2]

Thanks panel man. I think there are a lot of folks here in the US that would love to have that trike front end.

What are your thoughts on using a car tire and leading link front end? Have you driven a trike with a raked front end before? If so, how would you compare the handling?

 

[Panel Man]

Not had a raked front so cannot comment.But I like what I have
