FLHTK Electra Glide® Ultra Limited
The new king of the Grand American Touring experience, the Electra Glide® Ultra Limited offers enhanced performance and features, with distinctive styling upgrades. The Twin Cam 103 engine that delivers 10 percent more torque than the Twin Cam 96™ engine offered in other Touring models.

FLHXXX Street Glide® Trike
The Street Glide® Trike brings lean, stripped-down, hot-rod styling to the three-wheel category.
The Harley-Davidson® Trike platform brings original-equipment design, quality and service to the three-wheel motorcycle segment. Trike models utilize a frame and associated chassis structure and geometry engineered specifically to handle the loads generated by the steering forces and weight of a three-wheel vehicle.
FLSTFB Fat Boy® Lo
Darker and lower, the Fat Boy® Lo retains the bold presence of the Fat Boy® while offering a fresh interpretation of the motorcycle that still defines the segment. A re-shaped seat and lowered suspension combine to produce the lowest seat height of any Harley-Davidson® model, just 24.25 inches.
The Softail® rear suspension mimics the clean lines of a vintage hardtail frame but offers the comfort of a modern suspension that is hidden under the chassis. The rigid powertrain allows tight packaging of the engine and frame and creates a solid connection between the rider and the power that moves the motorcycle.
FLSTSE CVO™ Softail® Convertible
The Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Softail® Convertible is a limited-production custom motorcycle that can be configured for all-day touring, two-up cruising or solo profiling by adding or detaching key components, which can be easily removed or installed without tools.
The Softail rear suspension mimics the clean lines of a vintage hardtail frame but offers the comfort of modern suspension that is hidden under the chassis.
The rigid powertrain allows tight packaging of the engine and frame and creates a solid connection between the rider and the power that moves the motorcycle.
FLTRX Road Glide® Custom
The Road Glide® Custom is a tougher, lower vision of the shark-nose Harley-Davidson classic, with a big 18-inch front wheel, a 2-into-1 exhaust, and a smooth tail light assembly. This bagger rolls with new swagger.
The innovative Harley-Davidson® Touring chassis is based on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame and a stout swingarm developed to withstand the demands of long-haul touring riders and today's more-powerful engines.
FXDFSE2 CVO™ Fat Bob®
The Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Fat Bob® is a limited-production custom motorcycle that projects an agressive, super-duty presence behind a beefy front wheel, twisted Tommy Gun exhaust, bold paint and innovative custom styling.
The CVO Fat Bob is based on the Harley-Davidson Dyna platform, which pairs Big Twin performance with an extended FX front end, exposed twin rear shock absorbers, and an under-seat battery box.
FXDWG Dyna® Wide Glide®
The new Wide Glide® is a Dyna® Big Twin done up old-school chopper style - a low, stretched-out custom with drag bars and forward foot controls that give its rider a real fists-in-the-wind profile. The LED stop/turn/tail light combo and side-mounted license plate keep the chopped rear fender clean.
The Harley-Davidson Dyna family has its roots in the factory-custom revolution of the 1970s, and combines Big Twin performance with an extended FX front end. Dyna models deliver great handling and bold styling.
