Default Differences between 2005 and 2012
I've been out of the Harley loop for a while and was wondering, (besides the Engine and Tranny) what were some differences between a 2005 Super Glide and 2012?

All Good Answers Above other than the 05 is 1" Front Axle and 04-05 are Frames unique to those 2 Years .. Found that out when got such a good deal on my Mustang Seat for my 05 .. Vendor wanted it gone .. Also No Worries on Cam Tensioner Upgrade ..

Tire Sizes are different from 06 up I believe.. On the 05 is 100/90/19 F and 150/80/16 R unless a Wide Glide then is 21" Front Brakes more than likely have improved although can't verify this ..
