another problem is with rearsets that are exactly like OEM like those woodcrafts, your linkage may hit if you decide to go even higher and run GP shift.
the best i found that are fully adjustable are chinese or prolink, i think
im pretty sure mine are higher than what the woodcrafts are, and are stock. i scraped the feelers at the track, so i removed them. i scraped the peg. my toe
and finally i scraped the stator cover, the bike is not tall enough! consider shimming it a little. depending on the year it should be as simple as putting a washer in.
just some heads up, nothing worse then going wide on a turn cause you are grinding your bike into the asphalt.
I appreciate your input, I believe I read somewhere about shimming the rear shock linkage where it bolts to the frame? is this correct?

i havent done it myself, but that is what i read. some models have more thread coming out of the top where it bolts to the frame and you put some washers in there.
but be comfortable with the bike. you will lose stability and possibly braking power.
im raising my rear end and then adding more preload to the front of mine. im thinking im sagging over 40mm in the front.

also i messed up the name of those rearsets its pro-tek, and after i seen a used pair on ebay sadly they look the same. i have a thread trying to sort this shift lever thing out...
