Front 2014-later Low Rider wheel will bolt right up to your 2009 FXD using the same spacers...unless someone has changed them (who knows with your bike's history 
Check yours...Left / Right should be the same length...approx .981" (24.9mm). If not, you'll need new ones
Yeah, that's the wrong shim. The correct shim is approx .068" (1.73mm).
So maybe what happened is that with the wider shim on the Primary side, the Secondary Right-side bearing ran out of bore depth before it could "tightened up" on the sleeve which caused bearing preload when the axle was torqued...effectively like having too short a spacer sleeve
With Bearing Failure imminent
...Over and Over

...Over and OverAlso Instead of a lowrider wheel I purchased a harley six spoke wheel part # 43577-09

You need another one of those grooved spacers above #11804 (or get 2 if you want to make sure they match cosmetically) and then the same #41748-08 spacer sleeve and 41450-08 shim mentioned earlier
I didn't mention this earlier, but I suspected that someone would have changed out that primary left-side spacer (which they did) because with that wider bearing shim, the brake rotor wouldn't have aligned with the caliper without using a shorter (thinner) wheel spacer
This is what happens when people don't know what they are doing.
