I had the LSL risers and black superbike bars fitted a week ago.
I loved the clip-ons, but they made for an uncomfortable ride for anything over short distances, and town / traffic riding was even worse.
I wanted an "all day" bike I could ride without the discomfort, and the new set-up has given me that.
I've kept the rear-sets on and so far the set-up is working fine. I find that now my boot rests on the foot-pegs just in front of the heel. This is the most comfy riding position, but when I'm in the twisties I revert back to resting on the footpeg with the ball of my foot, so I can better grip the fuel tank.

One other thing, the wider bars have made cornering a lot more fun, and I'm getting more of a lean angle. Of course this might have something to do with the utterly brilliant Pirelli Speed Demon's I've also had fitted

Bottom line is, go for it!!!
