What size are the ID of the HD bearings: 1in?  If so you could probably make some top-hat spacers with the Kz axle OD as the ID and the HD ID as the OD.  Make sense?

Or you can look at NakedFun’s build.  Pretty sure he used HD hubs with a 20mm axle.

Hey, Your not in an old folks home yet? 
Come on lets go look at some! We'll ask if we can park motorcycles out back in the Shed!
Hope all is well Steve! Last time? You were getting Surgery.
New HD might have a metric hub? Are the new HD's still 3/4" axle?
I deal with Buffalo Bearings here. They have specialty bearings,
I put 20mm I.D. bearings in a front Z1 wheel hub for a 20mm rear axle to use. Uncommon bearing.

Or Start with my 18" x 5.5" x 40 spoke Harley wheel that is on fbmarketplace for $250 with new 530 sprocket / new 10" disc.
