Currently got a 2009 Streetglide. Looking at trading up to a new Roadglide custom. While out today, i came across a leftover 2011 with Powerpak option and cruise in a lighter blue color that kind of struck me. My questions are this..

What changes to the motors(other than the increase in cubes) from the 2009 is there ? Like..better lifters, better this or redeigned that etc.? What did they do from the 103 in 2011 to the 103 in 2012? Another dealer just got a chrome yellow FLHTRX in vut dont know I like the yellow. Originally looking for black denim...lol

Anyhow, just trying to decide between a deal on a 2011 or just get a 12.... By the way, I know the Powerpak option in the 2011 came with ABS and Security....but dont care about that as I wouldnt buy those on a 2012...more concerned about motor trans changes upgrades, tech info etc.

Thanks!!!

 

Auto compression releases are in the stock 103's (not sure if they were in the Power Pack version), and I think slightly bigger throttle bodies this year, but not sure. SE compensator is in the 2012 as well, I believe

 

All the 2012 I've seen also had the oil cooler.

 

All the factory power pack 103s from 2011 and limited 103s from 2010 have the ACRs and oil cooler also.

 

So the 2011 with the PowerPak and 103 DOES NOT have the SE Comp? I went thru and added that on my 09..so definately want that if thats the case...

 

The screamin eagle comp came standard in 2011

 

SE Compensator started with the 2011 models (even the stock 96).
The 2011 103's, also have the auto compression release.

All factory 103's have the oil cooler, even the '11 models.

It does have the SE Comp.

 

It is my understanding that the 103 Power Pak engine from 2011 is the same as the 103 in the 2012. It does have the oil cooler, SE Compensator, ACR. With the Power Pak it also has ABS and Security.

I went with a leftover 2011 instead of a 2012 because I felt that it was more bang for the buck.

 

What ever year you decide on, get the color you want or you will never be happy. Just sayin!!

 

No difference to my knowledge.
