2016 Harley-Davidson® FLS - Softail Slim®

The Softail Slim is a study in historic and iconic visuals from Harley-Davidson History, both from the factory and in the wild. With it’s Hollywood bars, slim rear wheel, BOLD cat eye console and floorboards, it harkens to the early days of custom motorcycle enthusiasm. CLASSIC and TIMELESS appointments mixed with modern tech and features like a worry free fuel injected High Output 103ci Twin Cam engine, hidden suspension to give it that authentic “Hydro-Glide” look . . . “It’s all about the stance”, right? Minimalist in its design and lack of chrome, giving it a unique aesthetic, while at the same time, keeping with the “Custom” look of the early ’50s. This one REALLY stands out with it’s Charcoal over Black Denim paint scheme. We really like the classic-looking brushed finishes on the rocker covers, transmission and timing covers, and the primary case, as well as the derby cover. It’s a modern machine with the look of yesteryears! Don’t miss your chance to own this one . . . It’s a SUPER LOW MILEAGE example, with some really nice add-on accessories, courtesy of the previous owner. Whomever it was, they must have really loved this bike, as evidenced by it’s condition.

2016 Harley-Davidson® Softail Slim®

The perfect blend of classic, raw bobber style and the power of a High Output Twin Cam 103B™ engine. A modern ride with unmistakable old-iron attitude.

The good old days are right now.

The Softail Slim® is study in contrasts. The Hollywood bars, slim rear wheel, cat eye console and floor boards recall the early days of custom motorcycle enthusiasm. Yet you also get thoroughly modern features like a High Output Twin Cam 103™ engine, hidden suspension and great brakes to bring it all into the here and now. Notice the way bright chrome meets blacked-out metal. Laced wheels with stamped black rims. There’s never been a better time to be a rider.

Features may include:

• Authentic Styling

Get an eyeful of a Softail motorcycle and you see more than some weepy-eyed exercise in nostalgia. You’re looking at the kind of style that has the power to defy time. Honest. Uncluttered. Unaffected by the fad of the moment. There’s a good reason for this. We’ve used our long decades on the road, riding, wrenching, talking to other custom bike fanatics, to discover what works. Then we stick with it, and use it to push the boundaries of motorcycle design ever further. Take a look at the horseshoe oil tank adorning our Softail models. It’s the same one you’d see on a restored dresser from the ‘50s, or a radical Panhead chopper from the ‘70s. And you’ll find it right now on future Harley-Davidson models that still on the drawing board. Other companies may be content to imitate bits and pieces from our long history. On a Softail motorcycle every part down to the axle nut cover comes from an authentic tradition. With a genuine reason for looking the way it looks.

• Iconic Engine

The air-cooled 45° V-Twin engine at the heart of every Softail model is a prime example of what makes a Harley-Davidson motorcycle more satisfying than anything else. Its clean, uncluttered shape fits perfectly in the downtubes of the frame. Twist the throttle and the surge of torque hits you exactly where it counts. The knowledge of what makes an engine truly move a rider runs deep at The Motor Company, and it’s been put to particular good use to power the Softail family. We counterbalance the engine, which means we can bolt it directly to the frame. It keeps the styling tight at the center of the bike. It lets the rider feel the pulse of the V-Twin. Yet there aren’t any vibrations rattling the fillings out of your teeth. What’s good gets even better for 2016. The Softail family gets a power upgrade to the new High Output Twin Cam 103B™ engine. More power is always a Harley-Davidson tradition.

• Technology

The beauty of the technology on a Softail motorcycle is that it never looks technological. That didn’t happen by accident and
