2000 Wide Glide,

I'd like to change the front 21" laced wheel to a 19" laced wheel. Specifically I'd like to lace a stock 2000 Wide Glide front hub to 19" profile chrome rim with Landmark diamond polished SS spokes. Has anyone laced wide hub to a 19" profile rim that is only used on narrow hub applications?
OR
Mount a 19" cast 10 spoke 2006 Low Rider front wheel to a 2000 Wide Glide? What I really need to know about the cast wheel is....
1.) Will the axle bearing for a 3/4" axle fit a wheel designed for the 1" axle. In other words are the outside diameters of two axle bearings the same?
2.) Does anyone make a brake disc spacer to make a narrow hub cast wheel fit a wide hub application?

I do not know the answer but can I ask why 19 inch? Most guys that have 19 want a 21 lol. Maybe trade somebody.

 

I'm just looking to change up the looks. I know there is little difference in the rolling diameter between the 21" and 19" and the extra tread width difference is minimal too. My bike is lowered one inch in the rear and going to the 19" would lower the front one inch without reducing suspension travel. I'm not interested in trading wheels, I like my 21" laced wheel. Looking for a quick change wheel that will freshen up the looks and maybe improve the handling at the same time.

Anyway in my search I think I found an answer to my question. Looks pretty simple and won't even require changing the one inch ID bearings to 3/4" ID bearings to make the wheel swap work.

I can't confirm at this time but I think swapping the new style wheels with the 1" ID bearings and distance collar to the 3/4" ID bearings and distance collar is also a simple swap, which would mean the bore in the hub has the same or proper ID diameter for the two different axle bearings. I would likely have to make up some axle spacers though if the width of the hub is narrower. Looks like that is also covered in the link above.
