Default 2017 Road King

On the HD website in one place it says the 2017 RK has air suspension and in another says it is a hand adjustable shock. Can anyone verify that the King got the new f & rear suspension setup as the other touring bikes?

Is there still made a HD leather look saddlebag like was on RK Classics that fit the new Road Kings?

I was told at the dealer no more air shocks, all oil/spring adjustable. At the dealer?

Yes, leather bags are still available. They made them to fit Rushmore Road Kings so they should fit the '17's as well.

I doubt that they is anybody that can answer this but seeing that were talking Road Kings and leather bags, I'll ask.
Can you fit a set of leather bags off of a Road King Custom (FLHRS) onto a new Rushmore Road King??

The International markets still have the Road King Classic for 2017.

It's a Harley marketing picture, I can't claim credit.
