An Independent or DYI can work on a 13 all day long, from 14 up with the CANBUS computer system there is nothing that can be done short of basic maintenance items that does not involve a software change,
I owned a ‘12 FLHTK and it was a great bike, until I bought the ‘17 with the new informant system and better suspension. The ‘19 should have the newer GTS system that allows for Cayplay which is really good when traveling. The M8 is a much smoother running motor that performs very well.
If it fit my budget I would buy the ‘19.
Goos luck in your decision.
