    Even if the wheels had a 1" axle, couldn't you change out the bearings to accommodate the different size? I have done it before on machinery but not on a bike. Just a though...

    haven't looked at my front one yet, but now you raise a ? because I'm getting a new front end for mine and it comes with the axle, doesn't mention anything about size, I wonder if the front axle is a universal deal. guess I'll have to look into that further.

    Both The Front And Rear On Mine Are 3/4, Hope That Helps. The Front Axles I Think Stay The Same. The Rear Jumps To 1" On The Big Twins.
