Did you convert your rear axle to 1"? If so will you have to drill out the hub of the Deuce?
Unfortunately I haven't found a stock wheel that width. I'm not prepared to spend on a new wheel, when there are great secondhand wheels available on US Ebay. It is cost effective for me to buy and ship them to the UK.

Yes, I have a 1" rear axle, as part of a 2007 swingarm/wheel brake transplant, all thanks to US Ebay! There are Harley owners over here who have installed FatBoy wheels by drilling them out, which is what I hope to do.

Not for the feint hearted, this is how to do it, as per our UK forum!

Wow, a radial arm drill. Great if you have access to one. I don't, this is how I did it.
