No classic for the USA. You can go to Harley's web site and customize a Road King but I didn't see any option for leather bags or spoked wheels.

No Classic in the US, but you CAN buy the saddlebags and bolt them right on (They're right here). You can swap the wheels for some spokes, and you pretty much have a Classic.

... which will leave me with more spare parts in the basement. Thanks for the info, maybe I will just have to see if I can find a dealer with a leftover 2016 FLHRC in the color I want with the options I want. Yeah right, who am I kidding.

I bought the last 2013 Road King Classic in Fort Worth in the Summer of 2013. I do believe the 13s were the last Classic models available in the US. I love the look of the leather bags and the spokes BUT i am currently running red mag wheels on mine for an even more classic look...

You're quite right! If you go to the home page on the H-D website and scroll down, you can switch countries and take a look at H-D websites around the World. Here in the UK we don't get all models, but we do get the Classic, with the new 107". We also got several models for long after they were discontinued in the USA, including the previous Roadster and XR1200.

Bummer that those bags are now vinyl. Hadn't realized they'd switched to that from the earlier leather.
