Just picked up an 03 SERK . . . love it, but my arms are too short.  Just like on my 03 Fatboy.  I put heritage bars on the 03 Fatboy and they were perfect . . . I did not have to change the cable.

I know the stock bars on the 03 SERK are the special 1.5" bars.  I need to get more height and pullback to me with a different set of bars without having to replace all of the internal cables . . .

Anybody put taller bars on an 03 SERK without changing the cables?

you should be able to put 10" bars on without changeing any cables

Have you looked at the Wild 1 Chubby RK Bar?

Which brand of 10" bars?  And, the stock bars on the 03 SERK are 1.5" . . . so, who would make 10" bars which are 1.5 " in diameter so that I would not have to change the cables or the riser?

Anybody?

[DakotaZeb]

The SERK bars are actually 1.25", aren't they???

[naitram]

risers are cheap if you change the diameter of the bars i dropped down to a 1" bar for the convienence of availability as well as compatabilty with some other things i was doing at the time.

some pics of the change out no cables or wires were changed





i added passing lamps at the same time

Naitram . . . you have done the two things I desire . . . passing lights and handlebars!  OK . . . love it . . . great looking bars . . . I have the 03 SERK . . . the wiring is internal on the handle bars.  I am wanting to add passing lights at the same time too!

If you would, shoot me the part numbers on the passing lights, the bars, and the risers you put on . . . especially since you did not have to change cables?

What about the internal wiring on the stock 03 SERK handlebars?

[naitram]

i bought flanders 10" bars and ive chnaged the passing lamps to the CVO style since,

i used a dremel to open up the wireing holes in the flanders to make it easier to get the wires through

best bet on P/Ns is to vist a dealer and explain what you want to do. the turn signals have multiple P/Ns depending on lense color

i'd use

Chrome Auxiliary Lighting Bracket Kit

Shaped by the wind, these Custom Passing Lamp Brackets blend into the curving contours of the Road King® nacelle or the Electra Glide® fairing. The chrome-plated brackets serve as stylized mounting points for the passing lamp housings and available bullet style turn signals, adding a smooth look that eliminates the cross brace and flat side supports of the Original Equipment installation. Kit includes passing lamp housings, chrome mounting brackets and hardware. Installation requires the re-use of Original Equipment sealed beam lamps and retaining rings. Bullet Turn Signal Kits sold separately.

I was dealing with the same issue with my SERK3 I am short and am reaching and I too was use to a Heritage bar with 2" risers. I opted to try the Flanders 1.25" Touring bar..

Here is the bar

I had the Wild1 Chubby (1.25) RK bars on my bike and they were uncomfortably low and and too forward. I'm 6.4" so I went with the Wild1 Chubby 10" mini apes. I liked having the grips higher in the air. It feels more natural...ergonomically speaking. I did not need to buy longer throttle or clutch cables either. I really like the larger diameter of the chubbies, the chrome and quality is excellent. Oh, they are necked down to 1 inch at the clamps, so no sleeve is necessary.

There's a decent write up with pics on the Wild1 site on changing bars on a 03 FLHRC. I did it in about 3 hours, taking my time. Go for em, you'll like em!

I'm 5-9 and have a Corbin Dual-Tour seat, and 12.5" WO Apes are perfect for me!
