I thought they were gone for a couple years.

But if you want to know about 2017, why would you not look on the website? it is not like some rare mountain lion, with stings on the edge of town.

Either it is on the site, or not one the site.

You can still get the leather wrapped bags. It'll cost you about 20K but it comes with a free bike.

They look like ammo cans wrapped in leather. If I wanted leather, I would buy leather after market. But it is easy to spend other peoples money.

They have a website?
Really, behave yourself.
With them selling it in Russia, rhe UK, and Dubai, why wouldn't anyone wonder if they might come out mid cycle here on home turf.

If they started selling FLHRC's here, nobody would buy fugleys and many of the other lineup. Everyone knows the Road King Classic is the sharpest looking bikes on the road!

As a previous poster said, 2013 was the last year for RKC in the North American market. Got mine just in time!

The parents of both families emigrated from the UK, some of the Davidsons being born in Scotland, where they originate. Some of the Harleys are still here in England, not far from my home. They are Anglo-American!

It's just not right that a RKC is no longer sold in the USA. It's an American icon. That would be like Chevy no longer selling Vette's here.

I will admit though that I like my hard bags a lot better than the leather bags the bike came with and are now sitting on a shelf. In the Spring I put the leather bags back on just for fun. Bike looks great with them but not nearly as practical or secure.
