Hi folks, debating trading in my 18 roadglide standard, I found a very low mileage 21 RG Special in Snake Venom (I looove the color) at the price point, its not far off a 23, maybe 4-5k under the price of a 23, though it has a lot of upgrades already done, bars, pipes, sound system etc, and has less than 3k miles....any significant reason to go with a 23 instead? Warranty obviously, but otherwise?
FWIW I owe 9k on my 18 and wouldn't lose sleep over keeping it lol.
On the H-D Service Information Portal you can find parts lists for bikes. The lists identify all the new parts each model year.
I looked at what changed on a Police Road King from '22 to '23 when I bought a '23. I've highlighted the more interesting changes.
H-D updates a lot of parts that you don't see just looking at a bike. I'm sure most of these parts were updated on the '23 Roadglide too.
