Default Tire size question

I have an 08 Heritage Softail. The rear tire calls for a 150/80 16 tire. I would like to have a thin whitewall Dunlop but can't seem to find it in this size. I found wide whitewall, narrow whitewall and blackwall. I was wondering if anyone can recommend another size that would work. My ultra calls for a mu85b16 which I think comes out to a 140/80. Has anyone else used a different size tire on a softail?

Use the mu85(140) narrow white wall on your softy, no problem going between 130 and 150 on your wheel...
