Default chrome fork question

I have a set of chrome forks I purchased for my 09 Ultra (non-ABS) but never installed. I recently traded my Ultra for a new 2012 Ultra Limited (with ABS). There are two different forks available, one for ABS and one for non-ABS. Can someone tell me what the difference is between the two? I'm thinking the only difference is the wheel spacers, non-ABS are tapered and the ABS are domed.
Any help would be greatly appericated.

I noticed a small pin sticking out on the left fork to keep the ABS sensor from spinning around. I admit I dont know all the facts.

if you wind up selling them, Tell the buyer that they are good for five more HP.

.... and if you put them on a Black scooter, you'll probably get seven more HP !!

FYI, changed out the forks last weekend and the only difference was the spacers.

If you buy the chrome forks lowers, the only difference is they provide a chrome bracket for the left ASB sensor instead of the black one that comes with the bike.
