Well, the tourers all have standard what we now know as the SE compensator. As for the throttle bodies:
FL Throttle body is now die cast
•Die cast body more compact than the old one Will not retro fit
•New fuel lines
•Smaller Throttle Control motor housing
•New calibrations required
They changed the clutch hub bearing with a narrower one, they changed the basket and the snap ring groove, etc. This will retro fit as an assembly.
They have a new stator connector which utilizes 3 o-rings which should keep contaminants out.
The new breathers look cool.
•Breather assembly is retrofitable
•No gaskets are available
•New torque specification for bolts
•The bolts used are a different
length
•Breather is replaced as an
assembly and will be part of the
gasket sets
