Default Difference MY2001 / MY2002 FLHT

Can somebody be so kind and tell me the differences between a MY2001 and MY2002 FLHT. I've been told that the 2002 model has some interesting differences. I have a 2001 with few miles and in great conditions underhand (haven't bought yet) and will be putting Progressive 440 shocks, PM 18" wheels, front 6 piston calipers / 13" discs, Mikuni 42, Hypercharger Pro-R, Hydraulic clutch kit, SE 95" cylinders/pistons/cams/pushrods, S&S ignition/coil, Vance & Hines dresser duals, S&S SPO mufflers and other goodies....basically i'm changing half the bike. Am i still better off getting a 2002 model for certain "new technical" reasons?
Thanks,
Cris

I don't know much about the carb models but the 2002's had a completely different Fuel Injection System. They also changed the front forks and got rid of the air adjustment. Other than that on the baggers I'm not sure.

Terry, thanks for the info. I think the thing i heard about was exactly regarding the front forks and maybe there was something regarding the rear swingarm. Tomorrow i'm going to ask the Harley dealer.
Cheers,
Cris

LittleSkull,

I think they may have gone to the fatter tire and narrower belt in 2002 also.
