Default Heritage, any difference?
Is there any difference between 2012 and 2014 Heritage classic? Found a deal on a 2012 for my wife.

The '12s had ABS as an option while on the '14s ABS is standard. SJ Ron

Just be sure to check the rear spokes. Some were loose on the '12s.

I believe that all 2014's use CAN Bus electronics. This can limit some available options that are available on earlier non CAN Bus systems. Ex: Speedometers, some ECU Re-programing and/or Micro Fueler Systems, etc.

The dealer told me my 2012 had the Can Bus as well, when I wanted a tail light flasher relay. As far as the OP's question, I love my 2012 and color choice is about the only difference besides the ABS becoming standard.
