Need Tire Advice Please

So I recently bought an 84 nighthawk 700s. It needs new tires ASAP. However, the problem is that I can't find a matching set ANYWHERE. I have scoured the internet for almost 2 weeks now and I either find a matching set that only has one tire in stock or mix matched sets (which happen to be out of stock as well). So I have decided to go to a different size. Problem is I don't know enough about changing the sizes. Do I go up or down? do I keep the same aspect ratio or just change the width? there are so many variables that i am completely lost on what to do.
Honda manufactured the bike to fit: 110/90-16 59H
130/90-16 72H
So my question(s):
Do I change the size or just try and find a mix-matched set, like a front tire from one manufacturer and a rear from another?
If I change the size, what sizes should I change to?

Thanks for the tips in advance!

No idea why you'd post this on a VTR forum. Maybe try a nighthawk one????
