Default Street glide wheel swap

I’ve searched a few places and find conflicting answers. I’ve got a 15 street glide special, and got a 14 street glide standard on trade that had an aftermarket wheel. I’m swapping my stock wheel onto the 14 and taking the 21 for my 15. I’m already having the bearing changed to abs for the 15, my old wheel, can I just use the spacer from the new wheel on the factory wheel along with the abs bearing?

basically just curious if the abs and non abs spacing is the same, and if the bearing is the main difference. TIA

My guess is use the same spacers that the 21 used.

It's the same spacing. I've done exactly what you are doing and only changed the bearing without issue.
