Why? I personally would rather have a more comfortable riding position. Sometimes I wonder how all those Road King riders survive without a fairing....

The Harley tallboy bars are comfy. My 02 EG had them.
Up 2" & 2" farther away..
Hands still behind fairing. Cheap by comparison compared
to Chubby Wild Ones or . . .
You could int'l wire them if you want.

I put KST Kustoms Mayhem baggers in 10-inch on the 2014 CVO Limited for the same reason. Keeps the hands behind the batwing and brings the bars up where you need them. Feels almost like a higher tracker position. I can ride all day with this set up.

I dunno how you fairing guys can deal with all that rattling plastic on the front end...not to mention the increased noise & you can't see the road below you.
I have ridden both & IMHO, a windsheild offers the same protection, and then you can remove it when you want & your bike looks like a motorcycle instead of something Adam West woulda rode on Batman back in the 60s.

".. i am 6 foot and need couple more inches in height and also pull back..."
I recently decided it was time to move from 2 wheels to 3 and purchased a new Tri Glide. I too am 6' and was looking for the same thing in height and pullback, so I ordered the Khrome Werks 2+2 narrow sweepers (#300519). Just installed them 2 days ago and sitting on the bike I'm anxious to try them out this weekend after Zeta passes.
Without some modifications or unpinning the connectors, internally wiring is not possible due to the size of the hole to fit the control wires in. So I did an external; wiring since that is what was how the trike was wired originally.
