I've been reading a lot of posts regarding the versatility of ABS bearings and non-ABS bearings. I have a situation that throws an extra twist in there, and would like to know if anybody knows of a solution.

I have an '06 Electra Glide (non-ABS), and I bought and OEM take-off from a newer Harley (2010-2011), and it has ABS bearings in it. I thought I could just take the bearings out of my '06 and put them in the newer rim; but I'm finding out that aside from my bike having a 1" axle and the newer bearings having 25mm bearings, the widths of the bearings are also different. I thought I could just turn down the crush sleeve and be alright, but the bearing pocket in the hub of the wheel is too shallow on the left-hand side.
Please let me know if I've explained this well enough to understand, and please let me know if anyone has any helpful suggestions!

 

For the front axle, turn down the axle to 25mm. That would be reducing the diameter by .016". The rear axle would be a little more complicated because the caliper axle bore would be too large for a 25mm axle. Although .016" may not matter. You could bore out the caliper axle hole large enough to install a bushing to properly fit the axle.

 

It's all in the sticky above, I run the 1" bearings and the 1" axle on my 2011 wheel. You'll need 2 new spacers 1 1/2" od x 1" id x .780" wide, use the 25 mm inner spacer and your rotors.

 

lt1-xjs, thanks for the information! I'm sorry I didn't see the sticky above. Thanks for the help!!
