Yep all i did was raise the forks through the yokes so that 4 grooves are showing on the fork top. All you need is a 6mm allen key. Before you start I would mark a line vertically from the top yoke to the side of the clip on - this is so you can realign the clip ons to the same position after you have set the height.
I lowered the clip ons by 10mm first so that they would act as a stop and prevent the fork sliding up further than I want it to. Then just slacken off the lower yoke bolts and the top yoke bolts and the fork comes up to where you set the clip on. tighten everything back up and make sure the bars are where you want them and thats it.
Top Tip - you can cut the end of the 6mm allen key so it doesnt stick out of the bolts so far it makes it easier to use as there isnt much space inside the fairing.
I havent bothered the rear ride height yet as the nuts are seized up and need a soak in release oil - I will do this when I can though.
If you do this mod can you let me know what you think ?
