Default Heritage bars on r/k

Anyone put Heritage Bars on their R/K I want to put them on my 03, if so which ones did you use and did you have to change wiring & cables.

Thanks

I put a set on my 08 and like them... not perfect but pretty good.

There were no cable modifications required for the 08.

FYI.. I had a 2000 Heritage and changed to Roadking bars. The stock Heritage bar position (mini-apes) gave me pain/fatigue in my triceps. No modifications but that was going to lower bars not taller bars.

I put a set on my 01 Road King this winter. Haven't ridden yet, but I think they will be more comfortable. I bought a set of take-off's from someone's Heritage on in this forum. No cable/wire changes are required.

No changes would be needed on your '03. I know that most of the cop RK's have the Heritage bars on them. My buddy has them on his RK and they aren't bad. I chose to go with the Road King High bars instead but they are very similar if you look at the specs.

I have 1 1/4" beech bars now I think anything would be better.

+1 on no changes needed. Had to slightly bend the brake line, but no issues. Watch the wires on the left grip. (mine were crimped) I had to eventually cut 5/8ths off each side of the bars to line up the dimple in the bars to where the wires leave the control, so they would tuck in correctly.

I took the bars off my 2002 FLHPi, which i later found out were heritage Bars, and replaced them with Road Glide Bars, much more comfortable for me and my riding position.

I don't recall if I had to take everything off to get to the bolts. I was running new wires for my speakers, so I ended up taking the whole front-end off, but for some reason, I thought that all you need to do is pop off the plastic disc around the handlebar lock with a small screwdriver, remove the 3 screws, and lift off the cover.
