ST bars on an RS?

[pitbull]

Anyone have an idea how much higher the bars on an 955 ST are than the RS?

They're maybe an inch taller. They are also closer to you and have a flatter angle. If you make the swap you might also have to change the throttle and clutch cables. Mine are almost too tight and I'll be changing to the ST cables when I do the next service.

Be aware that they may not be any more comfortable. I'm 170cm tall and found the RS bars gave me a little back pain. I put some ST bars on and initially loved them, but a few 300+km days nearly put me out of action with wrist and shoulder pain. Something about the sweep I think. I went back to the RS bars, learned to use my knees to grip the tank better, and am much happier. YMMV and all that.
And yes, you may have to swap throttle cables or at least reroute it to get enough slack.

thanks for the input guys..... a couple good things to think about.
