Aftermarket non abs wheel to abs wheel (performance machine)
debating on buying a new wheel. Is it possible if I bought a non abs wheel and swapped the bearings out to abs would I have any issues. A seller on eBay has a brand new performance machine rim non abs who says it possible long as I swap out to abs bearings. But before I do commit I’d like to know if anyone has done this before so I can save money in the long run as abs wheels are substantially more expensive compared to non abs wheels on eBay
bike is a 15 road glide special the wheel I’m looking at is a performance machine wheel that fits the standard road glide without abs

The Wheels themselves are the same whether ABS or not.
Also FWIW, Performance currently (if they haven't changed) doesn't use an ABS bearing for ABS applications, they use a "Special" Encoder that fits on top of a Standard bearing.
It's Re-Usable You might see if you can get those pieces from Performance or just install ABS bearings

Thanks. Apparently they’re still hard to get so an abs bearing would be the way to go. Quick question if I were to install abs bearings would I have to remove both bearings to do so? I know installation of bearings requires you to install the primary bearing(which is the abs side ) first. Could I just leave the secondary bearing in or would it cause problems later down the road?

Not If you're careful ... You don't want to disturb the positioning of what would be normally the "second" bearing that has no "Stop" but the spacer sleeve that will now be loose. You don't want to pull against that bearing. So use your "Bridge" that you would normally use for Removal and use it (or really anything else you have that would serve the same purpose) to pull against the outside of the bearing bore on the opposite side of the bearing your trying to install.
Make sense?

Use 2000-07 axle spacers and follow the Right Side Slider Alignment Procedure (2000-07 - Drill Bit through Cross drilled hole in axle)

The 21 is new from a vendor so just using a 1" axle and spacers and aligning the rotors within the calipers will work is what you're saying right?

If the wheel was designed for use on a 2000-07 Touring Bike (which means it was designed for 1"ID x 21mm wide bearings), then YES, you can install it on your 2013 when you ...
