Default Avon Cobra front with Metzeler 880 rear

I have a few questions. My current tire setup is Metzeler 880 fronts and rears. Rear is a 200/50/17 front is a 90/90/21. Bike is an 07 FXDB. I would really like to install a 120/70/21 front for a better contact patch and look.

I have read about guys running bias front with radial rears with no issues. As far as I can tell the Avon Cobra 120/70/21 front is a bias only tire. Anyone know if Avon makes this size in a radial?

Also, anyone running a Avon front bias with a Metz 880 radial rear?

Not looking to start a pissing match here. I know the MoCo does this. I would like to hear first hand specific Avon Cobra front and Metzeler 880 rear experience.

Thanks in advance for your time.

I run Avons front and rear so I can't help with your question. However, I have the same bike and have a 110 on the front. It's a real tight fit, so before you buy anything you might want to get the measurement of the width of the 120 and see if it will work at all.
