2016 Harley-Davidson FLHTCUL Electra Glide Ultra Classic Low
About the 2016 Harley-Davidson FLHTCUL Electra Glide Ultra Classic Low
The 2016 FLHTCUL is a specialized variant of the Electra Glide Ultra Classic designed specifically for shorter riders, featuring a significantly lower seat height and narrowed ergonomics. It is powered by the air-cooled High Output Twin Cam 103 engine and represents the final year of the Twin Cam touring era before the Milwaukee-Eight transition. This model year is notable for being part of the 'Project Rushmore' initiative, which brought improved braking, lighting, and infotainment to the touring lineup.
What Makes This Trim Special
- Lowered Suspension — Front and rear suspension components are shortened to lower the center of gravity and seat height.
- Narrow-Profile Primary — The outer primary cover and derby cover are narrowed to allow the rider's legs a straighter path to the ground.
- Reduced Diameter Grips — Smaller diameter hand grips to accommodate riders with smaller hands.
- Pullback Handlebars — Handlebars are positioned 2 inches closer to the rider for easier reach.
- Jiffy Stand Extension — The kickstand includes a tab extension to make it easier to reach and deploy from a lower seating position.
