Did the diagrams help?

A Non ABS bike has a spacer on the right side rear to take up the space of where the ABS pickup sensor WOULD be, if it were there. So yes, two different sized spacers on the rear wheel.......

Sir, if you look at the Rear Wheel diagram, it clearly shows that item #6, Spacer, is thinner AND cheaper than Item #15, Non ABS Spacer. That should have answered all your questions and concerns. Do you own the FSM for your bike? The answer is in there also.

Just did a new rear tire and bearings on my FLHT. Those spacers are correct. If you are going to work on your bike, I can't stress enough how much you need to get the factory manual.

I agree I should and my spacers got mixed up with others accidentally so I see in the pics the difference but I have some that r 1 1/4” and 1” and 3/4 and 1” and then I have 1/4,3/8. And 1/2” so that’s why I was asking for actual sizes which I can’t seemed to find. The manual doesn’t give that info.

It says these are “factory replacement” spacers.
