blank off plate
Most HD wheels are setup to accept 2 rotors, one on each side. If the bike is equipped with single disc, they just put a blank off plate on the other side. No change in spacing or anything else like that. Take a look at the cast wheels used on Sportsters and Dynas/FXR, some bikes had single disc and some had dual disc. Same wheel used for both bikes from the factory.
So assuming you figured out how to make the brakes and ABS work, I see no reason why a wheel setup for dual disc could not have a single installed. The wheel itself should perform the same and spacing should be the same.
As I type, for sure the spacing is not changed. The rotor is bolted to the wheel and the spacers go through the rotor, no contact. The rotor not being there has zero affect on spacing.
