The three marks does not mean a thing. The only thing that means anything is the OD, the ID, and the length. You have no worries at all, the marks could have been a number of things. Show us a pic and we can all make up some BS idea of what caused the marks, "like some one dropped it on a thee cornered file, yada yada yada.

Hmm, I don't know much about wheel spacers but those indents look intentional and not like something that accidentally damaged the spacer.

Do you have a service manual to look it up? If not you need to buy one, it pays for its self the first time you use it.

No been tring to find one bit hard as police bike and nothing in New Zealand, plus can't see to find anything on line,, the indents don't worry me as much as the length of each one,, like I said about 1mm longer being twin disk with ABS

Longer with Notches is Left Side (clutch lever side)... Harley will say to put notches against the bearing, buy it doesn't really matter.

ABS on your 07 Police doesn't change any of that

No you are not, you just ask a question. Those marks could have been made by a three jaw chuck, but either way it wont matter in the least.
