Did the front rim swap on my 03 road king with a new 2013 street glide over weekend, went smooth from reading up on here, but only thing I'm not cllear on is the spacer set up? Is there a difference in spacers used for abs versus non abs? The wheel I bought has the abs set up & obvious I don't have this on my 03 and shopping for some spacers on eBay I did read in the item description it would state some were for abs and others weren't? But they look identical? Thanks in advance for any future input

 

If you put the 6205-2RS-16 bearings in the wheel you use the 2013 spacer between the bearings and use your stock axle and external spacers.

 

no difference in the inner spacer (between the bearings) but the axle spacers are different between the ABS and NON ABS bearings. also the bearings are different on the left side . ABS bearing is wider. did you use 1 inch bearings in your wheel? should have replaced both bearings and then figured out what was needed for axle spacers. just make sure you end play is correct.

 

I chose not to convert it over to the1 inch bearing set up and use the bearings already in the wheel, which is why I went out and bought new 25mm axle. Seemed easier to buy axle then to swap out bearings re use my old 1 inch axle and still have to reconfigure the old spacers to work. So it sounds like I should get the OEM spacers that were provided with the original abs wheel. So what is the difference on the left bearing hardheaded? To the eye the look the same and both seem seated the same? Thanks

 

have both bearings laying on my work bench right now.the ABS bearing is .12 or 1/8 of an inch larger. the left bearing should be installed all the way to the shoulder in the wheel and then inner spacer installed, then right bearing until it is just seated against the inner spacer. this will result in the left bearing seated about a 32nd of an inch deeper than the right side. i would assume both sides would be equal if using the ABS bearing. i would think if you are running an ABS bearing you would have to run the ABS spacer on the left side with it or your wheel would be off center. not saying you can't do it, but i wouldn't. i would swap out the bearings to new non abs bearings and then but the correct spacers. non abs spacers are the same for both sides. did the 25mm axle fit your lower sliders ok?
