You should be able to swap your 25mm bearings for 1", so your axle etc works. However there are other things to check, like hub width and rotor diameter. Call over to the Touring forum and take a look through threads on doing this, it has been covered before.

i have a 2012 18 x 3.5 wheel on my 04 road glide. I converted to the 25 mm axle, got a flush mounted axle which worked great. i had to use the 08 up spacers. i did not use the 08 up rotors, but my old 07 down rotors. It works great. Once i do the brembo swap up front, i can convert the rotors to the new rotors, but that is another project.
