I think your original plan will work you just may need to stiffen up the shock preload a bit. In my case the shocks I was using worked with the longer swing arm but I had to adjust the preload to it's stiffest setting. When I switched to the KZP shocks it was too stiff so I lowered the setting and they work great. I still have two more softer settings left. 
As I see it KHI used stiffer springs to compensate for the steeper angle and longer swing arm while keeping the 14" shocks. 
It worked for me.

I guess the "P" spring rates are probably stiffer to carry all the "cop stuff" in the luggage

You bet, all the weapons, ammo, radio equip, radar, tactical gear you name it but I suspect all the J model frames are the same way. I'm impressed with the frame, the forks and rear end. I just wonder why they still had that wobble problem. I don't anymore.
