Default tire and tube help please!

I just bought a 2004 heritage softail. This is my first Harley!I am tire stupid and would like some help. The bike is stock, so it needs a D402F MT90B16 front tire. What size tube do I need and what size rim strip do I need? Thanks,

Here's a link to a tire conversion chart:

Your MT90 converts to a 130/90.
not sure about the rim strip...

You should need a:

1. 5.10-16" tube
2. 16" rim strip, side valve

For example:
