Thought about doing this. However think the bigger issue for me is wrist angle and that is not going to change it.

Default 14 KST's

I couldn't stand the stock bars ether. On a return home short trip my wrist and lower tailbone and shoulders were bothering me and the next morning I was sore. I started researching and ended up with the 14" KST Renegades. Install fairly easy. You'll have to modify & grind down flush the right and left **** that are on the inside of the controls(bars do not have holes for them).
Fit and finish are great. I'm 5'11" and my shoulders are even w hands with the stock seat. My ride is way more comfortable and can't wait to ride again.

I had the WO 515 B on my last Road Glide. I put them on so I would not have to change cables. Very comfortable and did what I wanted.

OP, they do that on purpose so you go back and buy new handle bars....

I'm in North San Diego County. I have some 14" Paul Yaffe's that my dealer mistakenly ordered me for a RG (I have a SG). Long/short, dealer wouldn't take them back.

Let me know if you change your mind on the height.

OP, here is a pic with 14" F47's. I was like you and didn't want to go 14's. I rolled the dice and I am so glad I did. I had dealer swap these from my 15.
