Thanks all for the feedback!
From what I'm reading and a little personal perception, it would be less problematic if I simply raise the forks an inch through the triple clamps. If I decide to go back, reverse the process and no cost - no problem. The pipes are already scraped pretty good so a little more shouldn't hurt, unless I do it enough to lift the rear tire off the ground. That would be "inconvient".
When I get her done, I'll advise.
