Motorcycle specifications Harley-Davidson 1690 ULTRA LIMITED LOW FLHTKL 2016 another boarding pass
presentation of the 1690 ULTRA LIMITED LOW FLHTKL 2016
The Rushmore project enabled the Ultra Limited to gain in power, comfort and roadholding qualities. There was a little left over to create a LOW version. In other words, a Limited that's just as well-equipped, but more ergonomic and, above all, more accessible. The main difference? A seat height reduced from 740 to 685 mm. But that's not all, as Harley has gone one step further in its quest to make life easier for riders of modest stature.
in addition to the seat, the entire machine has been lowered, with suspensions lowered by 25 mm. The handlebars have been moved 5 cm closer to the rider. One might conclude that half a decimeter isn't much... You'll think of it when you need to change a light bulb on the ceiling and you're 5 cm short of reaching it. Then there are the little details that don't seem so at first glance, but which we appreciate on a daily basis: narrower transmission and clutch housings, smaller handlebars, a clutch that requires less effort, retractable passenger footrests and a modified kickstand for easier grabbing. The Low's windscreen has been slightly scaled down, the company following a simple equation: reduced height = reduced air depression = reduced turbulence.
the Limited Low thus appeals to a clientele previously intimidated by such a liner, while benefiting from all the Rushmore improvements. To sum up: the American model is equipped with the new, more vigorous 1690 cm3 Twin-Cooled High Output engine with partial liquid cooling; the BOOM! Box 6.5 GT multimedia station with large touchscreen, 100-watt sound system and GPS; a premium Tour-Pak and luggage kit to carry your wife and belongings; Reflex combined braking; Daymaker LED headlights; and the practical One-touch opening system. The Limited also features HD-Smart touchless starting, a top-of-the-range finish with a choice of two-tone paint, air suspension, cruise control, heated grips, and much more.
If the Limited loses altitude in this Low definition, the price doesn't follow the trend. A few hundred euros more are required. But they're anecdotal given the asking price for this ostentatious Touring.

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 2 reviews
Unfortunately! Motorcycle really reserved for the small size, really between 1,65 and 1,69 m. After that, it's too narrow. What's more, the low height considerably reduces the shock absorbers, giving the impression that the wheels are digging into your buttocks and back as soon as you hit a slightly defective road surface. Unbearable, worse than a 2012 FLHTC! No heated grips as standard, as the handlebars are too thin and the cable can only pass through the outside (I'm not telling you the price!). Finally, the foot controls (left and right) are very close together, requiring a constant effort to lift the feet.
Not a success for me (1.70), I'm returning it to the dealership to buy a "normal" one. A bon entendeur. Rating : 1/5 Respond to dochenryjacques
