Number one priority You need a service manual. $60.00 at your local Harley Stealership. It will give you tons of info on how to do about everything on your bike. I bought the manual before I even got my bike. Two months and still waiting for my bike.

I believe the ABS sensors are in the hub. You definitely need a manual. Also, you'll be going tubless with the new wheel.

In addition to the Service Manual, you should review the HD parts manual for the PN's for the SG wheels that will work with the ABS. The ABS uses magnets in the wheel hub, I believe. Plus there is some wiring involved for the signal to come from the hub to the ABS controller. So there is more involved than there is in a non-ABS wheel swap. Obviously, front wheels on ABS bikes are removed for tire replacement, for example, but as to the procedures on an ABS-equipped bike, you should have a Service Manual for your bike.
