Default replace axle???

I got a 19" six spoke front rim for my 04 sporty. It's for a 2005 dyna, which has the 1" bearings. My question is, do I need to replace the bearings to 3/4", or can I simply swap out the axle for a 1"? Thanks.

Would a one inch axle fit your fork?

But I would think bearing would be the way to go...

I was going to go with a different rear wheel on my 05', it called for 3/4 bearings...and the Indy guy told me we'd just put one inch bearings for my one inch axle...

I went to Harleys' web site, http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US....................

They say the fork sliders fit 2000 and up models, so I'm assuming the 2 different axles are the same at the ends, and just turned down more where it goes through the bearings. But I could be very wrong here.
