I'm actually in the process of rebuilding the front end of my '90 Glide with later parts, including an 18" SG wheel, take-off lowers and calipers. I'm actually using 1" bearings, so that size of axle as well, plus new EBC rotors and pads. I have a front wheel speedo drive and will be notching one of the rotors to match, also machining the axle spacers so everything fits and the rotors centre. I'll spare you the details of the other stuff involved with these forks for now!
Later rotors are larger in diameter than Evo ones, which is another reason why the sliders and calipers need to be changed.

Yes. In fact the threaded end of a 1" axle is the same size as the 3/4" axles, so it is more a case of extending the small OD enough to allow the drive to fit over. Schex has done it IIRC, but I haven't got that far yet.

I remember someone has done it but I couldn't remember who.

I don't have the part number of the wheel bearing but I slapped 2012 street glide wheel on my 98 ultra no problem. It's in a 3/4 axle Did make a little slot for speedo drive in rotor. Stock rotors bolted on. Made the wheel spacers but I do that with the all to set the bearings. Don't know why it's supposed to be hard. I know I did it in less than a few hours. Good bearing guy is all you need. U can see little slot for speedo drive. Those brackets for fender were just to lower fender with out welding

Try and use solid rotors. In the past I have been having trouble with floating rotors on anything that is ridin miles. They have been rattling like a SOB. YOU can see the wheel a lot and it does make a difference . This is even with front fender lowered
I don't know why more don't use this wheel. Most times it's free or 50 bucks. Those calipers are stock also. Just a couple milled slots to make em custom. It's all coming off this week for the brembos and newer lower legs. But served well for 36,000 + miles
