As the title of this board says, our Road Glides are "Screamin' Eagles."   I've seen lots of new CVO's and like the '15 Road Glide Ultra but I'm not moved to trade.  My bike was in both the HD 2010 Calendar and the 2011 book, "Art of The Harley-Davidson" with photography by David Blattel and text by Dan Gingerelli, both of whom work regularly with HD.  Still with many in love with their new rides, what to do?   

I've done a fair amount of mods but nothing significant of late.  Here is my list:  SERG at 2.75 Yrs. Enhancements Continue?? Still in Love!?  That thread refers to my original SERG AND CVO: VERY GOOD TO ME! NEXT?

So,  here's the bike a couple of weeks ago in Sonora Pass on the way to Street Vibrations:

Some of the S. CA crew have seen my friend Fred Brooks and his outrageous Orange / Black SERG with a 23" front and custom bars from a fabricator in Montebello,  CA, Jose.  I began to exhibit symptoms of bar envy so I paid a visit to Jose last month.  With help from another Road Glider who had swapped out his bars and who had a spare eight hours, here's the bike now:

It was not a difficult project but certainly tedious.  Disassembly of the molex connectors, threading the new bars and reassembly of the connectors (after triple checking the individual wires)  was a mother bear! 

The bars are "flat" rather than round.

I used the shop manual mostly but there are some great instructions on RoadGlide.org and videos on YouTube which were very helpful.  We threaded the bars using a shoe string and nut.  Also used silicone spray to lubricate the wires through the new bars.

After a couple rides I'm happy!  Was not sure I would be.  Amusing aside:  The bike feels faster!    :huepfenlol2:   It's because I'm not leaning forward to reach the bars.  Since I'm riding more upright, the acceleration pitches me back more.   The bars are thick enough to fill the gap in the side of the nacelle so they look very clean.   They also have a 1" curve.

Thanks!  9.5" rise with 1" curve  measured from center of bar; 10.5" back; 35" wide.  It would have taken me at least two full days without help.

I hear ya. I've got about 13 hours wrapped up in mine including a trip to the dealer for some new pins. I had never done internally wired bars before and mine also has that Garmin to contend with. Makes a helluva difference though.

Thanks Greg!  That's very kind. 

Ohio, the $50 molex tool was worth every penny!  I may sell it though.   I don't have gps.  Considered but did not install heat demons.  Not much need in So. CA and it was 90* Friday when we did the work. 

Chapter 2 is coming in about 3 weeks.

Bought a complete set off ebay a while back with the crimpers and fittings to make my own plugs. :2vrolijk_21: Had stock heated grips to deal with also.

Thanks!  The pull was very easy even with two 90* bends.  Like I mentioned above, we used shoe strings and a nut to thread the bars a used same strings to pull wires through.  I think the trick was that I used silicone spray (rather than window cleaner or WD-40) to lubricate the bars and the wires as well as heat shrink. The wires then slipped right through.  No bad smell and the silicon evaporates away cleanly.

Well, I'll see how I like the new bars on the '15. I think they will be fine but I might end up asking you for that phone number.

Okay, here it is.  Arrived last evening.  It took far longer to clean under the old dash and polish the tank than to install the new dash.  Gray matches perfectly.  One of the things I've always liked about that color is that it changes depending upon the lighting. You can see from the pictures below.

Hey Greg that really looks good. I think if you could get the seat guys to stitch the seat with that same color it would really flow great!

Dont want to upset you Greg but I traded the 11 FLTRUSE for a 15 FLTRUSE and kept my silver 09 SERG.  So I have the SERG and the 15 CVO keeping each other company in the garage at night.  I think getting rid of Silvia is divorce material!!!!  Yes the ole lady threatened.  LOL  Taking off tomorrow to Tombstone for a 4 day getaway so we will see how the 15 feels on a longer haul.

I've ridden the Limited but not the RGU.  I'm sure it's terrific!  No upset here.   8)

That '15 is going to feel fantastic on a longer haul. I completed a 330 mile day and a 550 mile day with mine and it was dream under all conditions. Best riding bike I have ever ridden.

DO NOT change the paint!
Ride that puppy and enjoy it.
If you need more power, go see Steve.
Other than that, ride that puppy.

The power is great. I will see Steve if the heat in the summer becomes unbearable. In that case I will look at the new Stainless DX he is contemplating for release.

PS: I won't even consider a low profile console dash :D

That is one nice bike Greg, I love that yellow a lot. Great job and I will be sending my upcoming 2015 chopped tour pack to Joe as soon as I sell my 07 RG (per wifey lol), probably going with a flip flop paint for my 12 CVO.
Im trying to figure a 1-1/4" bars to replace my stock ones, Ill use your measurements to compare the difference between stock ones, any case they will have to be gloss black.
As far as wiring the bars, now folks that do their own will realize why dealers get $1000-$1500 to do that job lol.
