Default 48 fat spoke wheels.

New here with a question and hopefully some answers to my problem. First I am retired due to a motorcycle wreck in Aug 2017 where I lost my right leg below the knee. I do still ride, recently bought a 1991 Softail Heritage Classic as a project bike.
When I bought the bike, the old owner had just put 48 fat spoke wheels on it. The problem is that he did not pit a speedometer drive on the 3/4 axle. I know I cant be the only guy that has ran into this problem. I can not for the life of me find a set of bearings that the id allows for the fitment of the speedometer drive. The speedometer drive is 33mm and no one seems to sell one that I've found.
I was hoping someone has had the same issue and fixed it, and if so what bearing set do I need to look for. Thanks in advance for any help, and I am sorry if this topic has been covered. I searched but could not find any other threads
