You kidding - right
Where was the axle / axle nut / c-clamp - when the bearing / spacer were falling onto the floor
The fix is - put it all back together - but check that the bearing is good first

Wheel bearings should not fall out - when removing / installing..., it needs to be pressed in/ out (iow it a tight fit)
So
Is it the correct bearing for the wheel
Is the hub wallowed out - and needs replaced
You have calipers that you can take some measurements

Well you can either go to a machine shop, and see what they say, or get a bearing shim.

You probably don't need a new wheel. Try some Loctite Bearing Retaining Compound.
http://www.machinebuilding.net/ta/t0418.htm
Several versions are offered, 660, 680 etc. It's easy to find at auto parts stores, Amazon and elsewhere.
This is an adhesive that can hold the race of a loose bearing in its bore.
http://na.henkel-adhesives.com/indus...ound-14963.htm
Other brands are also out there.
Also, I'd replace all the wheel bearings. H-D has been using some cheapo bearings in recent years. Buy a name-brand like Fafnir/Timken etc.
If you do a search, you'll find an old thread where I gave more info and part numbers.
Your bearing probably went bad, locked up and spun in its bore. You should be able to fix this just fine.
edit- here ya go. Read this old thread. H-D changed sizes on some of these wheels so double check part numbers to make sure for your year model.
