Default 2011 Heritage Classic CT size question

I have been doing a lot of research as I'm wanting to change over to the dark side. My stock rear tire is 150/80/16 and as such, all the conversions I have found say I need a 175/75/16 but they are VERY hard to find (the Austone Taxi tire is the only one I can find). I read on a forum somewhere that someone was able to fit a 195/60/16 CT on a bike that ran the same stock MT that I do, but it was a metric bike (Kawasaki if I remember right). Anyway, that second tire is nearly 2 inches wider than the stock width and I was wondering if anyone with the same bike as me has tried stuffing that wide tire on the rear end and, if so, how'd it work out?
Thanks for any replies.
