I put a Kenda 270 150/70x17 on the rear of my SF and Kenda 270 120/70x17 on the front. They fit fine and once I got used to them they feel fine. I recommend keeping the 110 up front to maintain the same steering properties. See this link for some useful tire specifications.

I went to Cycle Gear and asked to see what they had. Nothing except touring tires! (which can't hang!) I have seen some on Ebay but I'm a little leary about that.

The 150/60r17 will fit for sure with a 4.25" rear rim; however, it's VERY close to the chain and will rub a bit. I just converted my '07 to a motard and I'm loving every second I'm on my bike!
