I'm trying to find some mags for my fxdb. Of course I can find them for a 25mm would a simple bearing swap do the trick so I wouldn't need a new axle and such

If your bike has 1" axle just switch to 1" bearings in the wheel.

In addition to the new bearing, you might also need to have the hole where the axle passes through the mag bored out, the hole might not be big enough to allow the axle to pass through it.

The crush tube would be smart to change and the 1" bearings are a different width than the 25mm bearings, they are wider so the axle spacers will need to be changed as well.
