Tire Recommendation for '79 CB750K?

I'm not looking to go extra wide - just the stock size. I'm looking for a modern aggressive tread, perhaps like an Avon, but not quite as pricey. Just doing the rear this week.
Thanks.

Thanks, that's a nice tire at a good price.  It's now a tossup between that and a Heidenau dual sport. I saw them on a Sportster and they look good as well, and I do run into dirt roads quite a bit in my neck o' the woods.
Next question: Does 120/90-17 sound right?  I measured (the width was not on the tire) and it came out closer to 130mm than 120.

Well, I went ahead and ordered the 404's today as suggested. Turns out there was a 130, just not on the first site I looked at. $175 for front and rear - not a bad deal at all. Thanks for the tip.
I'll save the Heidenaus for the Sporty.
