Abs bearings
Have a 09 Flhx with a 17-21 combo and abs , looking at 2012 Flhx non abs,will the wheel with abs bearings work on a non abs bike with correct spacers or is a bearing change required ?

The axle is the same. There is an extra spacer on the non-ABS bikes to take the space of the ABS sensor.
I am not 100% sure if the ABS and non-ABS bearings have the same width, but I would think they do because the sleeve (bearing spacer) inside the wheel is the same for all bikes, and all bearings stick out of the wheel the same amount.
I hope this makes sense...

Thanks for the info I was hoping all I needed was a spacer in place of the sensor for it to work ,dealer made sound like it wasn't that simple

Bearing difference
The bearings are the same size, the ABS bearing has a different dust shell on the sensor side ( its Gold in color) aside from that the bearings are the same. As stated above, you will need to put a new spacer in place to take the place of the sensor...Your wheels will work!!
