Question What Size Front Tire on SB ?

Have recently fitted the SE180 rear tire to my Streetbob (without kit) and pleased with the looks and ride.Looking from the rear theres a slight off-set to the left,and is physically closer to the fender that side but have had no rubbing issues.....ok to the question front tire,Have searched but not come up with anything concrete,When the time comes I want to change to a wider tire on the front but keeping the original SB rim.
Want to keep to Dunlop and go up to a 110 or 120.What Dunlop 110 would fit?If I go to 120 does the V-rod 120/70x19 fit?iiS THE se 180 a radial..do I need a radial up front too?

What would be great would be if members could answer and maybe post some close up picks of their oversize front tires....

Much appreciated... Sumpnut : )

If the V-Rod tire is a lower 70 profile is the rolling radius the same as the original...ie..wont be a bigger gap under the fender if its used ? Side and front pics would be helpfull : )

I run a 110 metzler and it fits good (fills up the fender) and rides great - no more steel bridge drift.

is it the tread pattern you are looking for, because I would think that a 110 Metzler (besides the tread pattern) would look the same as a 110 Dunlop. Or are there dimensional differences on same size tires based on manufacturer?

I have the Dunlop SE180 on the rear,just dont like mixing two different tire manufacturers on the same bike....want to go a size or two bigger on the front with Dunlop..think 110/90x19 is the biggest,,just read somewhere that going to 120/70x19 is too big because the standard rim is too small and sort of pinches the 120 width tire out of shape..but is that so???Fact or fiction..pictures give a better view on things so thats why I'm asking... : )
