Default Wheel spacer question

My 2019 road glide doesn’t have ABS and I have RGS abs wheels that I’m putting on it. I am going to change the bearings but I’m wondering if the spacers inside wheel are the same? As I look at everything it sure looks like the left bearing sits farther in hub compared to this ABS wheel. I’d like to keep my stock wheels intact so if I have to I will buy spacers.

Look at a parts fiche like Ronnies to see between the two wheels.

If you use non abs bearings it should work. I put wheels off a 16 cvo LIMITED on an 09 ultra and just had to use non abs bearings
