Not to stir the pot....but do we now need to discuss Truck tires on a bike? om just sayin... Just tryin' to smooth the pot here. A "bike" by definition has two wheels. Trikes, although legally and otherwise accepted to be motorcycles are under no conditions, bikes.
There seems to be little or no controversy concerning what kind of tires may be used on trikes.
Incidentally, as an aside, a tangent, a departure from the primary subject, a thread hijack; observation indicates that the overwhelming majority of the controversy over the use of non-motorcycle specific tires on motorcycles is raised by either practitioners of the use of NMS on bikes or Big Al.
I've really never heard anyone who wasn't running a non-motorcycle specific tire bring up the "flaming death" prediction.
I hope we've been able to sufficiently unstir the pot.

that must be a hard ride there is no front sup. except for the front tire and it must have a kicker of a sound system so it could be heard over the noise of that NT-14 cummins. but all and all they did a superb job putting all together

So if we don't talk about it's tires, can we talk about synthetic diesel oil? My oil is much better than your oil!

Some years back I had a set on my Wing that I got off a boat. Was in a marine shop in Daytona Beach, one trumpet was 19", the other was 17". I had a separate compressor for each one mounted in each saddlebag and the trumpets mounted under each bag as well. Sounded like a Mack truck, nobody ignored me.

Was in a welding shop in Branson, Mo. two years ago getting an axle repaired on a boat trailer. The old guy running the shop had a trike that belonged to him. It had a three cylinder disel and auto trans set up in it. He said he got tried of shifting gears on all the hills arround there so he built him something that he just had to drive. It was bigger than most trikes but not huge.
