Used to have the high bars on my Adventurer. Yes they were a stock item, you can pick them up for about £30.00 form a Triumph dealer IIRC (of course any 7/8 bar will fit). If you're using the standard cables they will all fit.
But the big question are they more comfortable? Well if you're doing a lot of motorway mileage or touring they can be, but I'd reccommend a decent screen too as the wind blast will pull on your arms a lot more so than with the lower bars. Personnally I found they slowed me down due to the position my right hand was in on the throttle, and because you're sat straight up I found they put a lot of weight on my lower back.
At the end of the day it's a personal preference thing, do you want a more cruiser style, laid back ride or something a bit more responsive?

If you really want to try the bars you can have mine for postage as I won't be going back to them.
