ABS Wheels
Can non ABS wheels fit on ABS bikes and work with ABS? I have a chance to get non ABS wheels cheap and want to chrome them. What do I have to do to put them on my ABS bike? {2009 Ultra}

Yes. You will need to install ABS bearings in the Non ABS wheels. A front wheel takes the ABS bearing on the left front, a rear wheel takes it on the right rear, 1 bearing per wheel. Harley is the only manufacturer of the ABS bearings.

Yes you can use the spacers (internal and external) but I also agree to go with new bearings.
Install the ABS side first, insert the internal spacer, install the non-abs bearing just until it touches the inner spacer. Bearing bores should turn freely and smoothly.

Like Low Joe said the Internal Spacer is the same. It's the outside spacer that's different.
On an ABS bike the sensor (front left or rear right) is the actual spacer.
