hd tech info
Every year at the dealership convention hd presents model changes and slight changes to current models. I believe they are called model year technical forums. Does anyone happen to know if they are published info or atleast what changes were made for the 2012 model year? For example, the 2011 year saw new compensators, new clutch head bearings, bushingless cam plate, different connecting rods and a new throttle body. I hear the compensator in 2012 is different from a 2011's. I'm just trying to figure out the slight differences. Thanks, Tony

Thanks guys. My question is why would they use a cvo comp in 2011 and then a different design in 2012? Just odd. And i hear the poster about a pdf manual. Didnt know they dont offer one and it's plain silly that they don't.

That is good to know. Kind of "pot calling the kettle black" because HD does not produce manuals in PDF but uses the PDF format to document technical forums and model year changes. I suspect HD dealers use and have access to PDF format manuals, just like their parts catalogs, produced for them from MoCo? Certainly they don't kill a billion trees to publish there technical forums, or do
