Default Fat Bob year differences

Looking for a new bike, considering used as well. I can't seem to find any actual facts of changes to a Dyna. I've come across things like the frame change making a big difference but I can't find any actual years or what to look for.

Anyone have any information? Especially curious on the Fat Bob, thanks.

Dyna frames changed in '06 and as far as I know have stayed the same. There have been changes in the electrical systems from serial bus to canbus but that's all I'm aware of. I don't know about anything specific to the Fat Bob, but I'm sure some of those owners will chime in.

I have a 2010' with 96 cu in motor. I'm sure this is the same as all previous years. I think the year later they added abs brakes (at least here in the uk).

2012 brought canbus electrical system.

2013 introduced 103 in motors

Finally 2014 there was a complete cosmetic re design, after which I think it's remained the same.

I have a '14 FXDF (103 motor) I bought used from a dealer over a year ago with 3700 miles, out the door for just under $12k. They were pushing me into a new '15 so I asked about the differences-one word, paint.

In '13 they changed the rear fender (a huge improvement in my opinion). The '16 has the High Output 103. That's pretty much it. I did a stage 1 with SE Ventilator, SE Pro tuner and Bassani Road Rage 2-1. Don't feel like I'm missing anything from the HO motor. I recently added Progressive 444s on the rear and Progressive fork springs-big improvement over the stock ride. Getting new tires Saturday morning, 8900 miles and they're needed.

2008-2010 I believe had mid controls as an option

2014 was the first year with the laser etched wheels and the stripe decal on the tank
