I think they are a little too high and maybe a little too far back. I would like something about 3-4" further back than the mids, but at the same level from the ground. You could always modify the linkage up top to a seesaw style to retain the shift pattern.
When you ride a sport bike you sacrifice comfort for raw power and speed. Why on earth would you want to be uncomfortable on a bike not even half as fast?
Probably because I have been slowly making mine more like the sport bikes I used to ride, just not as extreme - I sport touring bike has a more relaxed seating position than does an all out race replica. All depends on personal preference, I like low bars, leaning forward a bit and would already have move the mids back if there was something available.

Excellent point. Rearsets are about as useless as a titless WAF on a harley (except for an XR1200).
