i've always considered it far easier to simply lower the forks down rather than removing the top clamp and then having to find a torque wrench and re-torque the stem nut.
I'd have to see if I can access the pinch bolts for the lower triple tree first, but that actually sounds like a pretty solid way to doing it. For my 1098 it was a pain in the ass to access the lower triple without removing the nose cone!

Plus I was paranoid with not being able to get a good feel of how tight/loose I'm securing the lower pinch bolts and resetting the height of the forks. I'm mostly scared about over tightening the lower pinch bolts as I've heard it can impede on the travel of the internals. Hmm whats your take on it? Could use your 0.02
