I just picked up a 03 SERK in January. The bike is great. I am changing a few things like the seat, mirrors and make the tour pack detachable but there isn't a lot more to do. All I need now is some decent weather to go riding.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine.
I added a Power Commander III and had a Dyno Tune - TQ=90 and HP=88
 :)That is all going to change in 2012.

If you ever have any thoughts of changing exhaust, this could be of interest to you.

62489-99A Oil Pan Kit, Black is around $88.00
65678-09 Exh Bracket is $3.00
65634-09 Heatshields RH,FRT, LWR is around $185 NEW
65626-09 Heatshields, LH and RR is around $99.00 NEW

re: heatshields, plenty og HD Riders change there exhaust systems, so with some search you can certainly find and entire exhaust or heatshields for a reasonable price.

I installed the Rear Light Module, around $60 to make my turn signals act as running lights and brake lights as well as turn signals. More light aft is never a bad thing IMHO.
I also installed the Dual Filament Headlight for around $150. Low Beam stays On at all times, it doesn't go off when you switch to Hi Beam.

I also have the 22" Windscreen with 100th Anniversary Logo. Once again, do some hunting around and you should be able to find a big Windscreen.
I use it for Cold Weather Riding, 45 F and Below. Works fine for me.
Warm weather I use the 14" Smoke OEM or no windscreen.

If you ever feel the need for a fairing, the Hoppie Quadzilla Detachable will fit on your Winscreen posts.

Cheers

The guy that owned the bike before me had a lot of work done to it but he didn't do much riding. The bike just turned 4000 miles. It came with Rinehart true dual exhaust, six speed transmissions, cam and head work and a different headlight. I wish I knew what size cams he used.

I bought the bike to do more touring so I ordered a Le Pera seat and Clearview windshield that should be coming in any day. The bike has that 11" smoke windshield or is it called a wind vest on it now. It looks good but doesn't block much wind.

Nice weather just can't get here soon enough for me.

They made a lot more than 3k of these bikes.  Remember, unlike other CVO model years, this bike was only available in one color.  I think they made over 7k in 2003, all in centennial gold.  Tour pak was an option in either king or chopped.  I have 23k on mine and have had no engine problems other than some leaks that have been easily fixed. A good choice for an older bike with unique paint and reliable power train.

The CVO listing on the Harley Davidson website lists approximately 3600 units. The first with 103CID and hydraulic clutch.

I am looking at the Gold Centennial on EBAY ending today in Alpharetta, GA.  I have heard that so many bikes are in this color they are somewhat soft on the market.  This one only has 7,000 miles and is in good shape.  Am I better off with this bike or something like a 2007 Street Glide for the same price?  The bidding on this bike is at $12,200.

Do a Google Search for FLHRSEI2 sale.
Go to the Chopper Exchange
Look on the right hand side.
I see 15 For sale ranging from Call to $16,999.

I know I wouldn't trade my 2003 FLFRSEI2 for anything different.

Like Rhetor, I wanted to move up to a bagger (no fairing please) and saw the 03 SERK when I went in to buy a new Road King.  Low milage, kick-azz paint and bulletproof 103 engine won out over a new Road King after riding both.  Left the showroom with the CVO and now my chromed out Fat Boy has spider webs on it.  Great ride for the money and turns heads everywhere I go.  Go for it.

Really nice.

I was shopping for a new RKC when I bought mine in 2011 with just 900 miles on it.  Even though it was (then) 8 years old, to me it was just like new bike (except it cost LESS than a new, basic RK).  The 1st owner saved everything it came with (manuals, cover, tags, receipts, etc.), so I got the whole package!  It has the rear backrest & detachable tourpack (full size), but I rarely use it.  I added passing lamps because I like the look, a BAL taillight (super light!), and Cycle Sounds handlebar speakers to use with my MP3 player.  Normally I run it with a LRS smoked windshield, but had it off for the ride on the day I took this photo.

I've put 5K miles on it in 2 years with zero issues.  Great used bike & definitely a lot for the money!

I think the 100 Anniversary CVO Road King is the best looking Anniversary bike Harley has ever done.  I love it, and I have the 110 Anniversary CVO Road King but think the 03 is better looking.

Wow that is one great back drop! Where is that old station? Bike looks great.

[ghosteh]

Thanks Mike!   It's a station along old Route 66 just outside of Chicago (near Morris, IL).  There are quite a few neat places like this along Route 66.

Here's a new photo with the tourpack & lowers:
