Default mods problem

Just bought a 2012 fatboy. I am starting dig into the savings for the mods lol but I need to know the differences between the 2011 and the 2012. All aftermarket parts are go up to 2011. For example will a sissy bar for a 2011 fit a 2012? Saddle bags? And windshield? Those are pretty much the first three things. Thanks in advance for the help

Pretty sure that all those items you listed would fit a 2011 or 2012 as the mounting points for each item are the same for both years.

They are the same. Since it is not 2012 yet for a few more hours they have not changed the web site yet. 2011 and 2012 softails are virtually the same in MOST ways.
