Normal for the newer style rear caliper to have some movement/play; my '13 Wide Glide is non-ABS...

Normal newer style, has nothing to do with abs. Abs does not affect the calipers.

Has nothing to do with being newer or having ABS...

If there are only pistons (not talking about pads) on one side of the caliper, then it has to slide to function as a "brake"

Floating caliper-normal. You can always look at the ones at your local Harley dealer like I did. However if you lack self control like me, you could end up buying something.
