Default Fat boy 2013 vs 2015/16 model changes or improvements?

Hey guys, looking at buying another fat boy (owned a 2013 FBLo for a year) and wondering if there were any changes / improvements made between 2013 and the last twin cams 2015/2016. Besides the HO 103 motor of course.
thanks for any advice.

I know that you can install cruise control on the later one because of the electronic throttle. I had a 2014 lo and I couldn’t do it. There is also the S model with cruise and 110 engine standard.

Yeah...the cruise option is nice. I installed on my 2017 shortly after I got it. Got lucky and didn't have to get the dealer to enable it either.

yes looking at both models, why is that so odd?

thanks guys appreciate the feedback. More interested in suspension / fork upgrades than cruise control. Cheers
