Just want make sure..tire size before I pull the trigger
Right now I have the stock cast wheels stock size is
Front 100/90-19 57H
Rear 150/80B16 71H
Thinking I can go up to a
110/90-19 for the front.?
180/70-16 for the rear?
Both tries will be Metzeler ME 880.

There are two limiting things, your rim width and the space between your current tyre and the belt. If you have a 3 1/2" rim you can fit a 160, as long as you have over 1/4" clearance at present.
Fitted tyre widths vary and to be safe, to get in a 180 instead of your 150 you need around 3/4" to provide safe clearance. Even if you remove your belt guard I doubt if you have that, but check.
I also think you will need a wider rim than 3 1/2". Metzeler may have rim and tyre width data on their website, certainly Avon (my preferred brand) does.

Metzeler 180/70R-16 for the rear requires a 5" to 6.0" rim 5.0" recommended and the 110/90-19 requires a 2.15 to 3" rim 2.5" recommended
