Default Wheel bearing install

Just pulled the front wheel off my 14 ultra to change bearings and found that the shallow bearing (non-abs) was in the non-shallow side of the hub and the abs bearing was in the shallow side. Looked through the manual and it doesn't say anything about having bi-directional wheels and this was definitely done at the factory. So am I right in saying that the bearings are in wrong?

ABS bearing is installed on left side of hub and seated. Right side non-ABS bearing is installed to a depth just touching inner axle spacer sleeve. So with your description,I would say your wheel bearings were installed correctly at the factory.If they were not, you would of known right away.
