Any you can find....evidently they are getting more and more difficult to locate in the correct 3.25-16 size.
I found a set of Kings Tire (3.25-16) from Motorcycle Accessory Wharehouse a couple years ago, but I don't see them listed anymore.
I've seen a couple of listings from overseas for IRC and Metzler I believe but it's hard to find any stateside.
If you find any available at all please post the location as some others are looking also.
May have to go with a 100/90-16, I believe there are a few of those available.

If you want to look like the original, I believe they were rib front and block rear,
but I would go by the manufacturers recommendation.
Some are universal front or rear and some are specific.
The Kings are (were?) universal.
Someone else may want to add a recommendation regarding brand or tread style.

They would, however you may want to search for "coker" threads as there have been some negative comments about them quality and speed rating wise.

The only other brand I have personal experience with which is available in the 100/90 are Kenda 761's. They are universal front/rear and I had them on a BMW and was pleased with them.

To give more options, it has been reported that 3.50-16 will work also

Other choices are available here as well as other suppliers:
