Don't know about 2003, but I can tell you that they were the same on my 2002 & 2005.

Both sucked! Replaced them with WideGlide on both bikes. MUCH better!

They are taller and the pull back is FAR more comfortable! The pull back on the stock bars would make my hands / wrists "go to sleep". The bend was AWEFUL.

I replaced mine with Heritage bars, all the difference in the world. If I'm not sitting right my back starts to hurt. Rick

I replaced mine with the Road King Custom bars! I like the low look, plus they have a pretty good pull back, without having to reach.

I hate the original bars on the RG! One thing HD never got right.
