Default any issues with 2012 ultra classic

Due the the unfortunate passing of my brother i inherited a 2012 ultra classic, he only had 500 miles on it before he passed and it has been stored with a tender for almost 2 years now. I have a 2004 classic which has been almost bullitproof I know many changes has been make in 8 years like the TBW but not sure what i should be aware of.

Sorry about your brother. The 2012 is a much heavier bike and the seat is a bit higher, so be aware of it when you park it. Try and park it facing out. The '12's aren't nearly as easy to walk backwards. Otherwise, fire it up and ride it.
