If you ordered the wheel for your make and model, you should only need the stock spacers. If your bike has ABS, you need to make sure the wheel a that ABS bearing installed.

just put a 21 front on my electraglide, with abs, what i done was pull the bearings from the dna wheel and install the stock bearings in place and all stock spacers worked perfect, the reason to change the bearings because the ones from dna are thicker than the stock bearing so stock spacers wont work, ps go ahead and run a tube in these because they leak you can easily see why where they drill the hole for the valve stem is inbetween the spokes no rome to tighten down the valve stem to seal it

I just ordered the same rim last week. I had a white wall tire in the garage that I found at a mom and pop. I was told that they were hard to find in a 21. I also got a really good deal on matching chrome rotors for $99. Its going to be a long 3 to 4 weeks till they show up.

need to get the rotors to complete the look. it's a shame the 360 brake is'nt compatible with abs yet that would really clean up the front end.

I was wondering all I need is the abs bearings or do I also need the OEM axle sleeve? I'm installing.this wheel on a 2008 street glide with abs. Thanks
