Default Tire help

Well guys I have finally made it back to riding after a long absence. I have a 2009 Ultra Classic with 130/80 B17 65h tire on front an will have a CT on the rear for the first time. I need to know what is a good front tire in that size to run with my CT Yokohama 195/55 R16 ? Thanks for your assistance.

I ran stock tires to start with. Last season I went double dark and put a Battle Ax rear tire on the front. Massive rubber seems to me to be the way to go...
