Sam, most people would want the calipers at the rear, that's the optimal position and the reason all motorcycles of the past 40 odd years have them there....
I used to reverse the forks on my Honda 4's in the early 1980's to put the calipers at the rear, I had to use aftermarket front guards as the guard mounts didn't work properly backwards.
I'd just leave them as is...

How different is the position of the front brake caliper behind or in front of the fork? Thanks
