Default 2012 service manual question

Looking for information from you experts. I just got a 2012 Road Glide Ultra. I would like to get a service manual for it (used preferably). I found them for 2011 and 2013. Would either one of these work for me? Or would there be enough differences to make it smarter to just buy new for the 2012 model. Thanks in advance.

They may be the same, or there could be subtle differences.... Never a guarantee, because upgrades and mistakes happen regardless of manual year... But I always like to get the proper year manuals, unless that year is just unavailable...

As you can see, it's NOT ALWAYS cheaper to buy used than buying new from one of the online HD vendors....

hattitude has provided you with a link to a secondhand one. IMHO it is always worth sticking out for the correct year - it is too big a task for any of us to check with absolute certainty if there are any differences between manuals, year by year!
