Graham knows more than most and I wish I knew a tenth of what he knows about bikes. However, being 3/4" it can be brought up to 1" by any machinist or Indy worth anything. I have a 19" front wheel going on my 01 Road King which has a 1" axle. The wheel takes a 22mm so I am able to have it turned down. Reverse issue as yours. I could be wrong but again, Graham is da man!!!

It is true that later wheels can be fitted with 3/4" bearings, but the hubs won't take stock Evo rotors or pulley. The rear rotor and brake on Evo Glides are very different to later bikes and cannot be installed 'without modifications'. I have a later wheel in my 1990 bike, but that involved changing the swingarm and rear wheel, as well as using the later rear brake caliper and rotor.
