evo wheels converted to 1" bearing?

My Deuce wheel has 3/4" INA bearings and the number 'H-D 9267' engraved on them, which may help. I know of FatBoy wheels that have been converted to 1" bearings and they need the hole through the hub to be drilled out, to take a larger diameter internal spacer.
The easiest way of getting one of those is with a 'Wheel Installation Kit' from your local friendly Harley dealer! They ain't cheap, but come complete with bearings, spacer and other bits. They are available for 3/4", 25mm and 1" bearings, for front and rear wheels of the different model ranges and there are ABS versions as well, so be sure to get the correct kit!

I don't know if it's relivent or not but it's an after market wire wheel that was removed from a 96 fatboy, i think he said a star hub.
GR i'm thinking of a deuce wheel for the rear of my shovel too. I want some thing to hold a 160 or 180 wheel. I'm going to have to convert to chain to fit some more meat an already picked up a 8" wide fender. I'm just not sure about the weight of the deuce rear wheel, I may look for a 4 or 4.5" rim to re lace to my current hub.

Alternative sizes of tyre you can consider are 150/90B15 or 170/80B15, or 160/80B16 which all require a 3.5" or 4" rim. It will certainly be simpler to rebuild your current hub with a new rim than replace the entire wheel for a later spec one.
Looking over tyre sizes in this range it seems to me that as soon as tyres go from 80% profile to 70% they also go to much wider rims. The change from 150 to 160 involves a switch from 3" minimum to 4.5". Weird but true.
