Used Buying Inspection Checklist

What to look for when buying a used 2015 Harley-Davidson FLHTCUL Electra Glide Ultra Classic Low.

Clutch Master Cylinder

Check if the 2015 recall (NHTSA 15V216000) was performed; look for a 'rebuilt' mark or verify via VIN for clutch disengagement issues.

Rear Air Shock Pressure

Check the air valve behind the left saddlebag; if it won't hold pressure, the lines or shock seals are likely leaking.

Primary/Derby Cover Leaks

The 'Low' model's slim primary cover uses a specific gasket; check for weeping at the bottom of the derby cover.
