I felt my bars on my 14 SGS were too low and I was hunched over. I'm 5'7". I tried a Khromewerks Sweeper model (can't remember which one) but they still felt too wide and put my wrists at an awkward position. I called the nice folks there and they were in the process of making new Narrow Sweepers. They weren't in production yet but had several on hand and sold them to me. They turned out to be perfect. I did 2300 miles in 6 days last September and never had any aches or pains from the bars at all.
Hope this helps! I love these bars. No cable changes as long as you route them right in the fairing. You'll want to adjust the clutch and brake hose direction at the controls. Just barely loosen the banjo bolt on them so no leaks and no air in the lines happens and tighten them back up. There are lots of instruction threads on here.

Thanks a ton, if I can't adjust my bars enough like was suggested I will give these a go. I don't want any higher just need to be a little farther back I think.
Hey I see you were interested in some handle bars, and thats definitley something i can help you with!! Below I attached some photos and links so can check out our selection!!!!
I would say if your going to go with new bars i would go with the wo578s. They are only a couple inches taller and canbe rotated back quite a ways. I kept mine closer to the fairing but it still keeps your hands protected and out of the wind.
