Default Questions about stock 2008 Deluxe wheels - axle and disc

I am selling my stock 2008 Deluxe wheels. A potential buyer had a couple of questions that I didn't know the answer to, and I told him I would find out here and call him back.

1) Are they a 1" axle?

2) Are there bolt holes to go from the stock single disc to dual discs?

He wants to put these on his '06 Electra.

I'll also call my mechanic but I don't think he will know offhand, and you guys in here know everything

All 2008 up Harleys have 25mm front and rear axles except the Springer which has 3/4" front axle. The front hub on a 2008 Deluxe or basically any Softail does not have a rotor flange on both sides, so no dual rotors.
