Default ABS Bearings

I'm swapping the spoked wheels on my M8 Heritage for cast ones from a Sportster 48 and I've got what some of you might think is a stupid question. The more I try and research it the more I seem to go round in circles and confuse myself.

So, my question is; The wheel bearings in the hubs on both wheels, do they both have to be ABS bearings OR, is it just the one next to the ABS sensor that needs to be an ABS bearing??

Apologies for my ignorance.

Cheers, Simon

Sorry misread your question.
I think it's just one bearing in each hub.

Just one according to this:

Yes, as you said, just one by the sensor.

Thanks very much both. After looking at a couple of parts diagrams, some said both bearings were abs, others said just the one nearest the sensor.
I'm glad that's cleared up, I can attack the rear wheel tomorrow!
Cheers!
