Made for trikes but would also match up great with a rear CT. :icon_mrgreen:

I was at Hannigan Motorsports friday looking at trailers but I didn't see that conversion on the showroom floor. I don't know how that would handle on two wheels vs three wheels. I like it but the price puts it out of range for me.

Hard to respect Hannigan with so many errors in their add.

Michelin claims 25,000 miles of longevity for their New 180 Commander Tire on the rear of a two wheel Gold Wing 1800.
Why not put this new wide double compound, deep tread tire on the front of your trike or sidecar rig?

Michelin never said the Commander 2 will go 25,000 miles on a Goldwing. (or claim it would last 25k on any one specific bike, for that matter)
The Commander 2 is not a dual compound tire. (Some of their Sports bike tires are multi-compound, but not the Commander 2)

Of course, if none of those 'oversights' bother you, it just may be what ya need. :icon_biggrin:

If I only had a dollar for every company that had false claims. I'd be a bazillionare. :icon_doh:

Can't blame 'em for being 'optimistic'! Most Sales folks are VERY optimistic! LOL!

After spending $20k+ on a bike and $9k on a trike conversion, what's another $3k? Pocket change. :icon_mrgreen:
