I'm shopping for a newer (used) Street Glide and was originally looking at 2013's, but I found a 2012 with super low miles and all the options I want, including ABS.

Are there any differences between the 2012's and 2013's besides paint color options? I have the brochures for both years, and they show a weight difference in all the models, but I can't find anything that shows what changed.

 

the only thing that i see changed is the oil cooler adapter. i didn't see anything else, even after working on one. don't know why the weight difference. now i want to know.

 

Really! They are the same bike, so I haven't clue why there is a weight difference.

There is no difference btwn the 2 models. In 2013, HD was designing the 2014.

 

One difference are the rear suspension.
Up to 2012 the SG mount air suspension, while on 2013 models there are the same suspensions of CVO (gas + oil).
On italians models there is this difference, i think on those Americans also.

My 2013 has air shocks, Also just to see if the front wheel is larger then the 12

 

Ya, the difference is one year, just kidding I have a 2012 my brother had a 2013, and other than color I don't think there was any difference.

 

My 13 also has air shocks

 

There's no difference between the two. If there were any service bulletins on the 2012's they would most likely be addressed on the 2013's.

 

I dont recall seeing any mention of differences in suspension. (I could be wrong)

I think really its the same damn bike 'cept paint!

I have the 2013 model year technical forum document in the folder link below.
