In my opinion its worth the $1,900 bucks for the 14, but I'm spending your money not mine.
I'm disappointed they left the hydraulic clutch off. I assume it's just until they use up the old stock at the factory.

You can get one if you install the combo speedo-tach. Plus you get a number of other features........like a gas guage that is actually accurate.

Do all the new touring models with the new switches have the Can-Bus system? I think that is a major upgrade.

The difference in price would pay for your 5 yr extended warranty

They also made improvements to the 103 motor and the steering neck. The braking system alone is worth it, works extremely well. Could even get you out of a situation. The linked system is the biggest safety advancement In my Humble Opinion.

No way I would not spend $2000 more for a 14. Just the HO motor and the new bags would make it worth it for me. The clutch is a cable however.

I love my 13 RK....but would pay the extra $$ for the 14. Headlight and brakes are safely game changers....the bags and electronic readouts (gear indicator, rpm's) are nice to haves....new bars (I still need to replace my stock/crappy bars) for comfort. No brainer for me!

When you list the price difference between the 13 and the 14 model years are you considering that dealers are knocking of at least 1000 off MSRP. I got 1800 off my 13 Road Glide I bought two weeks ago. So that close to 3000 went back into Pipes, mufflers, cam, bars, and seat. I'm willing to bet my 13 will run off and leave that 14 and I'll be more comfy doing it !
