First I've heard of that. I'm taking delivery of my new Fatboy Lo S this week, the dealership is supposed to be putting a set of HD Street Slammers on prior to delivery to match my current ride (14 Lo). I guess I'll have an answer for you tomorrow or Tuesday....

I would assume there is a clearance issue with the clutch master cylinder.

I installed my last set on a 14 Lo. Dealership is supposed to have a new set on my 16 Lo S as part of the deal. Just called, and they're still waiting for the bars to be delivered. Asked the tech, and he claims they put a set of HD Slammers on a vivid S model a few weeks back with no issues.

Should know more definitively in a few days...

That was my first impression as well but had a good check, and everything looks like it should fit

I can't see any reason why they should not fit, had a set on my 2012 low and loved them.

Just picked up my 16 Fat Boy S with dealer-installed slammers. Asked the parts guy if it was a different part number and was told it was just a standard set of bars in black...

Hope that helps...
