Default Difference 2011 verse 2012 Road Glide
The only major difference I see in the 2011 verse 2012 Road Glide is a 6 gallon tank and 96 to 103 as the standard option? Am I really missing anything major?

The 6 gallon and the 103 are both standard in 11. The only difference I know of is the oil pump and lifters as well as color.

12 has the 103 and oil cooler stock. The 11 may or may not have it depending on if it came with the option. Or did the FLTRX only come with the 103 in 11?
