You're not really going to gain much by going to a smaller wheel. The smaller wheel uses tires that have a taller sidewall which keeps the front at the same height.
HD went with larger wheels but lower profile tires which result in a less comfortable ride IMO but it pretty much kept the bike height the same.
If there is a low profile 16 inch tire for the front then it would lower the bike some. It may be easier to find low profile rear tires in the wider format.
