All you have to do is change out the left side bearing, the"ABS" bearing, the right side bearing is the same on either wheel, you need 1 non ABS bearing for the left side, axle & spacers from 08-12, that's it. I don't like bashing the dealers, but hard not to when they don't know what they're talking about & give out misinformation.

I agree, but this is a non-standard modification! I wouldn't expect a dealer to know how I am going to install a Deuce rear wheel in my 1990 Glide, but I worked that out for myself in advance.....

If you don't know the answer, don't give the wrong information, just say "I don't know"!

Goodonya! Spend a little time reading through old threads on here. Members have been swapping wheels around for years.
