I've got 14" bars on my iron. It's close but not a 48.

I'm 5'11" and had some 17" apes on my Sporty for a couple of years. Super comfortable.

Here is a link to help you find out what height you will like the best.

I personally think 10" is the best looking height on a 48. I wouldn't go above 14"
