2020 wheels on a 2012

[Totosdad]

Hope I didn't make a mistake. I bought some wheels with no miles on them from a 2020 tri glide.

People had custom wheels put on their bike.

If the axles are the same size, do I need to change out the bearings if they are ABS bearings, or it wont matter even though I don't have ABS brakes on my 2012?

Thank's

I'm in the process of trading my 16 triglide for a 20. I have the 19" enforcer wheel on my 16, that does not have abs. When I mount it on my 20 it will have to have different bearings installed because the 20 has ABS.

Pretty sure you will. Talk to your SM. I know they could'nt swap a wheel from my 16 to the 20. Something about bearings being diff. So they removed my new Avon & installed on 2020 rim. Rear is not a problem.

I can understand that, your old bike not being ABS, just wondering if I could just use the ABS bearing in a non ABS application

I am having the ABS bearing installed into my wheel, the wheels are the same, it's the bearing that's different.

I put mine off my 2010 flhxxx on my 2020 tri had to change the left bearing. you have to make sure that the 19" front is the same diameter as your 16" front , it will mess up the abs if not the same . the overall diameter of the tires .

hopefully all will go without any problems
