Lowering Front-end question

So i have a question thats been lingering around in my head ever since i put my woodcraft clip-ons, on...like a year or 2 ago
Normally you would need the 1" lowering blocks to lower the bike, you put them in between the stock handle bars and forks, loosen the triple tree clamp and bam, it slides up an inch, lowering the bike an inch

So here is my question..would it be possible to lower the bike, by just loosening the clamp and measuring 1"? since i dont have the stock handlebars anymore i couldn't use the blocks

any info is appreciated, thanks

yes, it was to show you the tubes can be slid down easily when you have clip ons. just make sure you don't lower it so much that the front fender crashes into the bottom of the front cowling when the suspension is fully compressed. there is a limit.
