Default Springer axle to small

Hi guys,

I bought a Led Sled Customs springer for my 2013 1200 seventy two. Everything fits perfect except the axle it comes with is 3/4" and my stock wheel is 25mm. My question is, is there anyway I can get the 3/4" axle to fit with the stock Hub setup. Sorry for my lack of tech talk, I am using this as a learning experience as well lol.

Thanks
Cam

Swap the bearings to 3/4" ID.

Thanks, I had a feeling that was all I needed to do, but I just wanted to make sure.

Have you considered making (may even find something like this in McMaster Carr or similar) adaptor bushings/sleeves ? 1 inch OD x .750 ID steel bushings are a piece of cake for anyone with a lathe. Cheaper (and easier to install) than new bearings, IMO.
