Default Is This Possible?

I found a set of stock switchblade wheels from an 06 super glide for a decent price but from what I have been reading, the 06 changed to 1 inch axles? I have an 05 FXD and it has the wire wheels and I have always wanted a set of those wheels. Is it possible to put these on my scooter since my axles are 3/4? I don't really want to spend an arm and a leg on new aftermarket wheels right now so my question is can I switch out the bearing in the mag wheels to make it work on my scooter? thanks.

I'm not sure the width of the 3/4" ID bearings but if they're the same width as the 1"ID bearings it should be direct replacement. My stock 1" bearings measure about 0.825" width.

HAHA, thanks Illusion. And no, nobody should look like me, it's bad enough I do.
