2001 Night Train...stock tire sizes???

Can anyone confirm the stock tire sizes for an 01 NT? My service manual doesn't have them in it. The owners manual either. WTF? Have found some conflicting sizes, especially rear, on line. Wanting to order some new tires but want to be sure I get the correct size.

FWIW....bike currently has a 80/90 21 front and a 150/80 16 rear.

Thanks!

You can also do a 90/90/21 on the front which will be a tad bit wider. .37" to be exact.

Thanks guys! What would the difference in handling be if I went back to the 130 rear instead of the 150 that is on it? Just curious.

I don't think you'll notice any difference. My bike (very similar to yours) came with a 130 on the back. When I went to a 150 there was no noticable difference at all.
