Default tire size

Bike came factory with a 130/90R16. i believe is a "cruiser" tire on it now due to it saying dunlop 402 "Harley Davidson"

Was looking at something more like the k505

But it would be a 140/70R17.
Would i run into any problems?
Looks like i have a good 1/2-3/4 inch on either side of the tire before it hits the side arms.

Or anymore suggestions. Just wanting something that would give me more confidence in the corners.

yeah, 110/80-16 and 130/90-16 stock sounds right Why I hated the sizing of that era. A lack of tire choices.
