Default Differences between the 2012 and 2011 Iron?

Any one know? Just the year? Just wondering because parts sometimes are listed for 2010 and they fit the 2011, would they fit 2012?

But I am still interested in a complete list of differences if any one knows.

The HD name on the fuel tank is difference. I actually like the 2011 HD logo better than the 2012. I'm shopping for a 2011 Iron 883, but no one in my area has anymore, so I guess it's a 2012 for me.
