Question Differences in SG models?

I am just about to purchase my SG, and am down to two choices. Both set up very similar, black pipes, apes, etc.... One is a 2011 & the other is a 2013. About $2500 in price difference. Can anyone tell me what the differences in those year models are? I know moving to the 14's the fairing set up is different, etc...but what about between 2011 & 2013 models??

you will get alot of guesses here.
the guesses will be well meaning and maybe 80% accurate

you can track changes by googling 20XX model year technical forum

this is the model year introduction document that HD sends out to dealers

get 2011, 2012, 2013 and you can see running changes

there were also optional cruise/security and abs package
the 2012+ are all 103's, previously the 103 was a $2k option with the powerpack

What is the difference in mileage? That and 2 years newer might be the 2500 dollar difference.

The 11 could be a 96 or a 103, the 13 is a 103. Do both bikes have ABS, what about cruise control?

Get the cheaper one then with $2500 get some decent fenders & bags so it doesn't look like every on SG on the block.
