I've been keenly interested in the posts regarding the best front tire for a GL 1800 trike. The choices seem agreed upon:
A. Bridgestone BT-45
B. Michelin Pilot Activ
Now my quandry:
Recently there has been a wave of posts alerting people of a vibration in the handlebars to the point of hand numbness with the Pilot Activ. I am wondering if this observation applies to individuals who have replaced their stock handlebar grips and bar end weights with the Kuryakyn Iso-Grips. I am one of those who did this for comfort on the motorcycle. My local trike shop (not my installer) says that they have replaced 80% of the Michelins because of this issue. They have recomended the BT-45. I don't want to repeat what happened to my long fender extension now that I have a trike. Suffice it to say I am waiting for a new rear section of my front fender.
