Default What's the difference between ABS and nonABS wheels

If anyone has been following some of my posts, I have been looking at road glides. I am starting to think that it is just not time for me to buy a new to me bike, as soon as a RG hits the floor, it sells at a premium price. (I won't pay premium $)

So I am probably going to keep my ride and do some more upgrades, and maybe even convert it to a RG.

I want an 18" wheel up front, and have been looking on eBay, found a few nice ones from late model street glides with new tires, but are listed as ABS wheels . I know I will need to change the bearings to have them fit my axel, but not sure how the ABS wheel differs.

Also, will my rotors bolt right on and line up?

The wheel (Rim) is the same as non-ABS.
Just need to remove the ABS sensor/bearing, install a standard bearing, and use standard spacers when mounting them.

If the rim uses standard rotors all will be fine. If you're looking at the 2014 Enforcer rims, you'll need the enforcer rotors on the front.
