This spacer washer is reportedly not installed at the factory but is a service part for alignment where the aluminum back plate butts to the bearing inner race due to wear. The race will plow right into the soft back plate when the axle flexes ((Dr Dick http://​xlforum.net/vbportal/​forums/​showthread.php?​t=1844782)).+  * On 1963-1978 XLH/XLCH Models, a bearing spacer washer HD part #41195-63 (or V-Twin part number 44-0395 ((Icefire of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​t=1533577&​highlight=size+rear+wheel+spacer+washer&​page=2))) is placed between the two bearings on the right hub (brake side).

-  * This small washer has a lip, its very thin, and is not a regular flat washer. It goes in between the right side bearings in the hub, and pushes/​holds the outer bearing flush with the hub where it goes up against the inside of the brake backing plate. Others have also said it is OK to use a second one in between the backing pate and the outer bearing if you need a little clearance so the backing plate wont rub, but if you need more than those 2, you should look inside your hub for issues...
