According to the Flanders site the bars are 3"taller, 1" wider and pull back 3" more than the America bars. I don't know what cables are on my SM since the bars had been previously changed to Bonneville bars. I'm guessing the stock SM cables.
There are some issues I still have to deal with. I moved the brake line to the right side caliper. It is functional but not ideal. It is not pulled tight and has some slack, but, not enough to tuck it to the forks so it would look better. Will replace it in the future.
The clutch cable had to be moved from around the left header pipe to above it. I secured it to the oil cooler line with 2 zip ties. I don't like this either so will replace it in the future also.
The throttle cables I moved to the right side and between the tank and frame instead of going thru the forks. Plenty of length there.
The electrical wiring now comes behind the forks instead of thru and in front of. Seems to have plenty of length there also.
The bar end caps have a bigger screw on the R3 so I have to get different screws.
Took about 2 hours to change including all of the figuring out how to stuff. Rode 22 miles to work today and really like it. Have to go to one of our other stores this afternoon so will have an 84 mile round trip on the freeway. Oh, and my $25.00 mini windshield now fits much better and works better too!
Can you post the pics for me?
