3/4 bearing Wide glide wheel to 1inch bearings?
 
I have a wide glide 21 inch front wheel with 3/4 bearings,my question is can you convert it to 1 inch bearings and inner sleeve?Reason I am wanting to do this is because I have a 06 street bob with 1 inch axle and I'm converting it to wide glide triple trees and the wheel was free and I would really like to use it if possible.Thanks

First hand
 
Depends what the inside of your hub looks like. If it looks like this than just toss the hub because machining out the clearance hole to accept a 1.25" sleeve is not worth the trouble even if you have the equipment to swing your 21" wheel with a lath or CNC milling machine. I have done it only once.
