Tire combo help please?

Been Around the Block
I am going to get a set of tires to get my big KZ1100 shafty project underway this winter. I can't find a combo for the 16 rear 19 front. I can't get a bigger back rim because of the shaft drive. The only think I can find are special deluxes which are not a bad choice. I kind of wanted some dual sport, dirt tracker tires for it but they are usually not wide enough. I'm jumping on the Wrench monkey, Bratsyle bandwagon, with a Mad Max feel to it as it seems fitting for it.
 
what size are the stock tires? Denniskirk.com has a good selection of dual sport tires.
 
There's a 130/16 rear not sure about the front I think 90/19 pr 100/19 I wanted something fatter as usual. If I find a tire that I like they usually don't make the front tire in 19 or the 16 rear is only a 90-100. I wouldn't even mind two different tires but the tread should be somewhat similar.

This is a lot of my inspiration.

The tires on the WM bike are only 4.00 inch rubber - the pics make them look fatter than they actually are. Basically a 100 or 110 size.

Specifially I believe they are Pirelli MT 43's, which come in 2 sizes - 4.00 - 18 and a 2.75 - 21 front. So WM is using the rear 18" tire on both ends.

Mostly for show - not so much for go.
 
Quickly looked at BikeBandit...

The Duro HF904 comes in a 130/90-16 rear, which would look hardcore. But the matching front HF903 only comes in a 21 near as I can tell.

Bridgestone might a good option - Trail Wing series. DOT 80% on-road, 20% off. Will handle just fine on pavement.

Thanks Tim. Those bridgstones might fit the bill. I want them for looks basically. I'm not going to ride it much at least I don't think so. I have my monster and getting a track bike soon. This is a bits bike and to me it is big, powerful, and will be nasty looking.
 
I was thinking about this duro 904 130-16 rear
