Softail Fat Boy Lo FLSTFB (2016): Kelley Blue Book's Own Full 2016 Softail Roster Confirms This Sits Genuinely Alongside a Full Eight-Model Lineup

Kelley Blue Book's own confirmed 2016 Softail lineup listing places this bike within a genuinely broad range: "Style: 103 Slim, Fat Boy, Heritage Classic, Fat Boy Lo, Slim S, Deluxe, Breakout, Fat Boy S" — eight distinct 2016 Softail variants sold simultaneously, with the Fat Boy Lo positioned as the genuinely lower, more accessible sibling to the standard Fat Boy covered elsewhere in this catalog.

Power comes from the High Output Twin Cam 103B, an air-cooled V-twin displacing 1,690cc (103.1 cu in), a 98.4mm bore and 111.1mm stroke, a 9.6:1 compression ratio, fed by Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), run through a 34/46-ratio chain primary drive and belt final drive. Barnes Harley-Davidson's own confirmed factory spec sheet lists gear ratios starting at 9.311:1 in first, the same fundamental drivetrain shared across Harley's whole 2016 Twin Cam-based Softail range.

That same confirmed dealer specification lists a 31.6-degree rake with 147mm of trail on a 1,630mm wheelbase, a genuinely low 616mm (24.3-inch) laden seat height (660mm/26-inch unladen), and just 120mm (4.7 inches) of ground clearance — dimensions confirming the "Lo" genuinely means lower than the standard Fat Boy's setup, achieved through revised suspension geometry rather than a smaller-diameter wheel. Dennis Kirk's own confirmed parts reference lists 140/75VR-17 front and 200/55VR-17 rear tires — narrower than the range-topping Fat Boy's 200/55R17 fitment, on a 33/66-tooth front/rear sprocket ratio and 41mm fork.

Barnes' own confirmed fluid capacities list an 18.9-litre fuel tank and 3.3 litres of oil (with filter), with a shipped weight of 319kg (703 lbs) rising to 332kg (732 lbs) in running order. This exact FLSTFB configuration ran through 2017 before Harley's 2018 Softail platform redesign discontinued the dedicated "Lo" trim, folding its lower-seat-height concept into the standard FLFB and FLFBS Fat Boy models built on the new single-shock chassis.

This factory service manual covers the procedures, torque specs, and diagrams needed to keep a 2016 Softail Fat Boy Lo FLSTFB running the way it was built to.
