Mag wheels
I found some mag wheels and they came off of a 1998 dyna super glide. I believe they are 3/4" (not 100% sure if they are 3/4") axle size and my 07 streetbob has a 1" axle. The question I'm asking is Could I press out the 3/4" bearings and install 1" bearings?

Yes. There are bearings and/or conversion kits for that. The 98 likely has tapered rollers in it. Converting to 1" sealed ***** will (I think) require a new inner spacer as well as the bearings and axle spacers..

yes, they are 3/4" but also Tapered Roller Bearings ("Timkens"), not Sealed Ball bearings...Different O.D.
There are sealed ball bearings out there that have the same smaller OD as the Tapered bearings but only 3/4" ID...none for 1"/25mm ID.

You sure mulithdrdr? I'm pretty sure my hubs (from a 2000 XL, I believe. Bought used.) were originally tapered and I pressed in All-***** sealed bearings. I'd have to measure the counterbore. I believe the bearings were 42mm OD x 21mm W x .75" ID
All-***** has a nice chart on their site. I posted a link in another thread somewhere here... I'm on the road or I'd sit down and search for it.

2000-2007 (only to 2006 on Softail fronts) = Sealed Ball Bearings 3/4" & 1" ID (where applicable) x 21mm Wd x 52mm OD
THEN
2008-later (and 2007-later softail fronts) got 25mm ID x 15mm Wd x 52mm OD
(btw i'm Not grouping Springers in the breakdown above)
Tapered roller bearings have an outer race OD of 1-25/32" (1.781") or (45.24mm)

OK. I believe you. I know these used hubs have the larger sprocket register bore diameter. Makes sense they'd also have larger OD bearings. I just thought I read that they all had the same OD. Must have been just the 1" and 25mm axles.
