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.
