Question Tire Size

I have a 130/90/16 tire on the front my V8 trike.

Will a 140/90/16 fit on it and not rub on the front forks?

The front forks are from a 2005 HD Fatboy.

Thanks to all.

Ride safe.

Mike

The wider tyre will be approximately 3/16" wider each side, so does that still give you decent clearance? I say approximately because the fitted width of tyres can differ from their nominal size. As an example when I bought my 1990 bike new the front and rear tyres were the same size as your trike, however the front was a little wider than the rear. So a 140/90 may be slightly wider or narrower than 140mm.
