Default What front tire for Deuce w/SE180 on back?

Which Dunlop front tire works best with a SE180 on the rear? I'd like something a little wider that will still fit in the stock fender. On a side note, can I get any other 180s to fit on the rear without mods?

Thanks for any input.

Rear tyre - i got a 200 metz on my rear (on a 18 x 5.5 Arlen Ness rim) using the stock swingarm and the stock fender. I did need to change the belt over (pull the primary apart) for a thinner one, but thats it, no other mods. I had to use the 2006 lower belt guard rather than the 2007 part (the 06 had better clearance).

Thanks for the replies,

I wanted to stay with a Dunlop tire since I'll have the Dunlop SE180 on back so I ordered a Dunlop E3 90/90 for $84. Will the 90/90 Dunlop be much bigger than the stock Dunlop? I would have much preferred an Avon or Metzler but couldn't find a 180 to fit my stock rear 17. Maybe down the road I'll move into an 18" rear wheel that will give me more options.

Thanks again.
