2016 FLHTK in search of wide white wall tires

I can find the rear tire all day long, but the front is a mystery. Anyone know of WWW tires that would fit this bike?

Front: 130/80B17 65H
Rear: 180/65B16 81H

Thanks!

I just looked at the Dunlop website and they only have the wide white wall in the rear tire. The front tire only comes in narrow or black'

A friend of mine went through this a few years ago.
Turns out that because of the size of the side wall on the front tire the "narrow" is actually wide.
See if you can find pictures of the narrow front tire.
I think you'll be satisfied, as he was.
