Default New tire size need help

Took my baby to get her first new tire today. I have a 07 FLHRS. Took her to a local motorcycle shop. I had a metezler ME880 to replace those shitty dunlops. I found out when I got home that the tire size that was put on changed. I got a 150/80/16. What came off was the factory tire which I think are a 130/90/16. Does anyone know what or why this was put on? Is it a mistake and need to have removed? Any advise please...
