Default Front tire Reccomendation

My 1974 has a Dunlop 90-90-19 front tire which looks ridiculously skinning on the front end of the flh. I want to go to a larger tire. What is stock for that bike and im thinking on a whitewall as well? The tire currently measures less than four inches wide. Im not sure of the rim width but my 65 sportster has a wider tire. Any reccomendations to give it the big fat look?
