Default rear wheel spacer question?

the right rear axle spacer (the small one) has a little triangle mark.

Does it matter which way the mark goes? The shop manual doesn't say, so i assume not.

Thanks

Don't matter! I can't see why it would!

I saw that whenI changed my tire.

I'm guessing that on another model it probably meant something, but to save money they just shoved it in there!

The triangles are on the outside. Look for the imprint of the wheel bearing inner race to see which way it goes. The Harley manual says it matters, althought I can't see how, but put it back oriented the right wayjust incase.
