ABS Bearings Touring

I have ABS and I am going to swap wheels on my Road Glide the bike the wheels are coming off of is not ABS so I will have to change the bearings. My question is do you only have to put an ABS bearing in the side the sensor is or do you have to put ABS bearings in both sides of the wheel. Sorry if this has been posted, looked quickly couldn't find anything.

I may be wrong but as I recall the ABS bearing is wider than the standard bearing - are you sure the wheels will
interchange?

You're right, the ABS bearing is wider than the standard bearing. I just changed bearings on my '14 Limited. OP...look up the specs on the bearings and then measure the wheels you're putting on to make sure the ABS bearing will fit.
