Default Stripped Down FLH Style New Bike Out There?

Help an older fella out here if you could, please. I'm getting a little too old for putting around on the bobber anymore and would like a newer version of a stripped down FLH if there is anything like that out there now. As in no fairing or saddle bags. Any suggestions?
Thanks!!

It's funny, I was just thinking the same thing yesterday. The only thing I can think of is pulling the bags off a road king. My Heratige has the feel but of course it is a Softail.

I used to ride a stripped down flh, and it seems to me that the closest that you are going to get is a road king minus the bags.

Switchback? Without modifications that may be as close as you get.

Switchback's been around for the last 3 or 4 years.Might be able to latch onto a slightly used one.But if you want to go first class,choose the King.

The switchback was a few grand cheaper than the RK... I ride a 2015RK and without the bags, the bike is ugly

My dad's Road King is for sale with only 10,000 miles on it for $10,000

For an extra $2,000 he will throw in an enclosed cargo craft trailer to keep it in.

I have an ad posted in the classified section about it.
