Default Front 130 tire?

Hi I was wondering what will happen when I put 130 tire on front rim?
It will look better but can i ride on that tire?
And does anyone know what maximum size can I put on the rear rim(3.5")?I have 150/70/17 now,I wanna go with 180
Greetings from Poland

Front max 120, rear max 150.
Use 1989 or newer rims for wider tyres.

Not quite sure of the year of your bike, but my 95 takes a 190/55-17, changing it down to a 180 in the Spring.

I'd wouldnt recommend the 130 though....

Don't go above a 120 front - just about all Hurricanes run them.
150 max on your current rim, and check whether your swing arm will allow a 180 tyre on a newer rim - is there space without fouling the tyre ?
My bike's supposed to run a 170 rear (1990 L) but they're impossible to find, so I run a 180.
Running wider may mess up your cornering geometry.........not a good thing.
