I donīt see that mixing these tyres are a problem. I have no experience with Metzelers, however I just put on Avon Venom (100/90-19) front bias and Avon Viper Sport (170/60-17) radial rear.
I did a good 30 mile ride last weekend and the bike handles beautifully. (2007 Low Rider). The bike leans effortlessly into the corners and keeps itīs line with minimum stearing input. A total transformation in my mind. Be sure to find out the right air pressure to put in!
Not a problem. Lots of wide tire bikes run a radial on the back and bias on the front. I'm pretty certain ones like a Softail Standard come that way new.

i have talked to people and read posts for countless hours on this subject. most people will agree that unless you take your bike on a racetrack, youll prob never know the difference.
I am running the Metz. 90/90 21" bias tire up front, and the 170/60 17" radial on the rear . I put 300 miles on them last Sunday with no problems. In fact the bikes handles so effortlessly it's like a dream compared to the stock tires. I love them.
