Front end question

I am replacing my narrow glide frontend with a wide glide frontend and the new frontend doesn't have the bearings and my question is can I use the the parts from the narrow glide or do I have to get new ones, I'm talking about the bearings on the stem. And my bike is a 2003 lowrider the frontend is from a softail standard I'm going with a 21 front wheel to

they will work! to get the bearing on the stem, freeze it(stem and lower tree) for a couple hours... bearing will slide right on...
