If you already have a 16t rear, then you're going to want a 36t front. If you have 18t rear, then 41 or 42 will suit, mabye 43 even. If you're starting from scratch then go for looks/availability/cost up front, then get the relevant rear to match.

42/17 I run on my '82 Floval. Great for riding distances or cruising.

I'm just building my first cruiser too. 
I found this pretty useful…

I opted for a 40/17 combo.

I think i run a 42/17 but i could do with it being harder to be honest, i find it a bit spinny
