1 bearings are double row. I have not been able to find a 1 bearing with a width of 15mm.=(25mm bearing width)
I am currently doing a wheel swap on my 07 believe me, Ive been doing the research.

The OP would want a 25mm ID bearing not a 1".

if you read ops post, he wants to know if a wheel from an 05 would fit his 08. You cannot use a 25mm bearing on a wheel that has 1 bearings. The 1 bearing is double roller. A 25mm bearing is single roller.
So unless he has a 1 axel to go with the 05 wheel, swapping bearings to 25mm id, , is not an option.

Sorry I edited my post. A company makes a spacer that sits behind the narrow bearing.

I think HD also has a kit for doing the same using just parts they supply.

Op is talking about rear wheel swap. And as I said, I am also doing a wheel swap and learning what I can and cant get away with.
