The riding position isn't all that bad. I wouldn't want to go 6 hrs on the thing but for around town and commutes, its fine. I would lower the rearsets a bit if I could but I would have to fab an extension plate from the frame clamps and I would have to remove the exhaust/passenger footpeg brackets and tubes to keep the rear brake linkage from interfering. It looks like your passenger footpeg mounts aren't part of your frame so you have some options there. It's definitely a sporty position though and not what I would consider "cushy". I am used to being bent over though on my road bike and I'm young.
