2016 Harley-Davidson FLHTKL Ultra Limited Low
About the 2016 Harley-Davidson FLHTKL Ultra Limited Low
The 2016 FLHTKL Ultra Limited Low is a premium touring motorcycle designed specifically for shorter riders, featuring a significantly lower seat height and adjusted ergonomics compared to the standard Ultra Limited. It is powered by the Twin-Cooled High Output Twin Cam 103 engine, which uses liquid-cooled cylinder heads to manage heat during long hauls. As part of the Project RUSHMORE era, it includes modern amenities like the Boom! Box 6.5GT infotainment system, Reflex Linked Brakes with ABS, and One-Touch luggage latches.
What Makes This Trim Special
- Lowered Suspension — Front and rear suspension are lowered by 1 inch compared to the standard FLHTK.
- Narrower Primary Housing — The outer primary cover and derby cover are reduced in width to provide a straighter leg path to the ground.
- Reduced Diameter Grips — Smaller diameter hand grips make it easier for riders with smaller hands to reach the levers.
- Pullback Handlebars — Bars are positioned 2 inches closer to the rider to reduce arm reach and shoulder strain.
- Assist and Slip Clutch — A hydraulic clutch with reduced lever effort (approx. 23% less) for easier operation in traffic.
- Jiffy Stand Extension — A tab extension on the kickstand makes it easier to reach and retract for shorter riders.
Likely but unverified:
- Heated Grips — Standard on the Ultra Limited; 2016 Low models typically retained them but used a specific reduced-diameter version.

Ownership at a Glance
What to know about maintaining a 2016 Harley-Davidson FLHTKL Ultra Limited Low
Known Issues 3
Top reported problems from owners and mechanics
High
Water Pump Failure
The electric coolant pump often fails without warning, causing the 'Check Engine' and 'Coolant Temp' lights to illuminate. While the bike can still be ridden as an air-cooled machine, it will run hotter.
High
Hydraulic Clutch Air Bubbles
A chemical reaction in the master cylinder can create gas bubbles, leading to a 'soft' lever and inability to disengage the clutch.
Low
Reduced Cornering Clearance
The 1-inch lower stance results in a lean angle of only ~27-28 degrees, causing floorboards to scrape frequently in moderate turns.
