Are there any real differences between the two years?
I just sold off my '96 Sportster 883 Hugger, and will be trading in my '96 Heritage Softail Nostalgia in the next few months for a new Road King. I still have a chance to get a 2012 if I look around and can save a little. I am not sure if there are any differences in the leftovers and new models.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

None except color choices.

 

Dealer might try to tell you about some hidden changes to push you into a 13, but other than color choice, nothing's changed.

 

Thats pretty much exactly true, the model year 2013 technical forum had remarkably few changes.

 

According to HD site, there is a $200 difference between them, and the color I want is offered in both years. I guess which ever one I come up to first will do, unless dealer wants to do a push to get rid of the 2012 model and discount it down or offer some "gimme's" to make me want the leftover.

 

Colors only, as others have said. Buy the one that you like best.

 

I like the Ember Red Sunglo

 

Nothing of note changed, find a killer deal on the 12.

 

Didn't the windshield change?

*nvrmind...that was the CVO

 

Good choice.... I just added that to the Stable
