Default fatbot front wheel spacer

Hi was wondering if some1 can answer a question i bought a 94 fatboy front wheel and it has a thin spacer in the wheel hub sitting against the wheel bearing which i can pull out with my finger. then the speedo dirve would go against that.The only problem is the diagram of the wheel does not show a spacer before the speedo drive.would anyone happen to know if there is a thin space in the wheel hub or does the speedo drive go onto the wheel with no spacer on that side?Thanks

yes i know the is a big spacer on the other side but i cant figure out why there would be a spacer on the side of the wheel were the speedo drive goes.I have a manual for a 92 softail and for solid wheel it dosent show a spacer on the speedo side.And i am assuming the wheel is the same untill 96 when they removed machanical speedo
