It's gonna be a tough call for me re: the bars, (and also the seat between a regular height Sargent and Corbin.) I just got back from a 120 mile loop with my my wife. I love having my wife with me but I really don't like 2-up riding. I've been doing for many years, but much prefer to pilot with a passenger:) But I digress....
Around this part of Texas, there just aren't enough nice curvy roads to really give the bike a work out but it was a nice 4 hour ride to brunch and back cruise on some black top. I kept trying to imagine myself with the bars 2"s lower and it seemed like a long way down 
Yet I still also feel like I'm not sitting on the bike the way it was intended with this much rise and I actually feel like my hands aren't positioned as comfortably as they are on the stock height. I may have to break down and rent a C14 for a 200 mile ride with the stock bars before I go to the hassle of taking them off, only to decide I need them on even at the small sacrifice in handling given the lack of easily available twisty backroads close by.
OK, Conhardcore, this is a little off subject, but you opened the door.
There are probably more "twisty roads" around you than you know about. Just have to search them out. For instance, since you're in the DFW area, go down to Granbury and take Hwy 4 all the way back up to Palo Pinto. It's really, REALLY twisty betwen I-20 and Palo Pinto!! (Had my only "off road experience" there. I highly discourage anyone from getting off of a moving motorcycle! The Palo Pinto County paramedics are some great folks though.
) From there, just take 180 back east through Mineral Wells and Weatherford, then I-20 home.
If you've got the time, from Palo Pinto take 180 west over to Caddo and head south towards Ranger on 717, but cut off on 207 back east to Strawn. Go to Mary's and get yourself a huge chicken fried steak, then take 108 east through Mingus and Gordon (where it changes to 193) on your way back to I-20 and back to the MetroMess.
