Mounting '86-'99 harley 3/4" axle wheels to a '79 xs650:help!

[Mike Nomy]

YUP, U READ RIGHT.... a couple too many beers and a nite of searching the ol interweb, and there u have it! I done did it again! Bought some wheels for my bike that I know don't directly fit! They Ultima king spoke wheels, 21" front, 16" back, both with 3/4" axles. They were exactly what i was looking for, style-wise, so i hit the "buy now"....
Problem is, i'm a tattooer that's fairly mechanically able, but don't have direct access to the proper tools/machinery to just make some new axles or spacers, etc...
So, Can anyone tell me what i may need to make these guys fit? Parts? Sizes? Companies? Anybody do this on the regular?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. In fact, anyone near by that can get this done for me, i see a sweet tattoo in their future! SERIOUS! I'm good lol, check me out:

I did it on my bike.. You need 25mm wheel bearings with spacer from a 2009 dyna without ABS. You can get them from your local hd dealer. Then your gonna need this sprocket.http://www.ebay.com/itm/230861123935?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 to fit because the stock hd tooth count isnt suited for the bike.
Depending on if that wheel hub is a wide glide or not, you need a mid or a narrow glide hub or just mill down the hub like I did. You will also need to make a spacer for your brakes for the front and rear and then center the wheels.If you havent done it before bring it to a bike shop and have them do it. That's something you dont want to mess with.If you have any other questions that I missed just ask...

Thanks for all that info man! I don't run a front brake so that's done lol and I was hoping that the rear sprocket I have on my xs now will fit on the new rear rim (?)
My forks are stock xs also so I'm not sure if that's comparable to wide glide or narrow...
By screen name, are u in ny? Long Island? If so would u wanna gimme a hand?

I'm on the island not too far from you... I dont think the front wheel is going to fit between the stock front end.. A wideglide hub is 6 3/4 wide, I mean I could be wrong and I have nothing to measure by because I tossed the stock front end away.. The rear sprocket wont fit either because the bolt hole pattern on the xs is bigger then the HD.. Give me a shout if you need some help otherwise...Gerry
