Wheel Fitment Help...

My father recently gave me a sed 19" thunderstar wheel as a b-day gift for my 2000 electra glide. i realize i have 1" sealed bearings in my bike. issue, the wheel he gave me has 3/4" timken bearings. doe anyone have any advise as to how to possibly make this wheel work?

i am not positive that i can swap the bearings out to 1" sealed...

If those Timkens are tapered roller, then that wheel won't take 1" sealed bearings, which are larger in OD.

They are tapered bearings. I was just talking to my buddy that can machine the axle down. i may buy a spare axle to try that route.
