I was having a look at the front fairing and imagining the handle bar an inch lower. Will the bars hit the pointy-ish bit of the rear part of the front fairing ? Depending on bar position, maybe ?

If it only drops it one inch it shouldn't hit. I have woodcraft clip on bars which I am sure are lower than that. Controls may have to be repositioned and don't forget the bars can be tilted towards or away which affects clearance. I rotated mine downward before getting clip on bars. I'm not confirming they will work, but if they are higher than my clip on bars they should work.
Immediate concern I see isnt fairing clearance, but the distance between the risers. Since the stop of the clamps is a plate, rather that two separate pieces, if the distance between the two is off, even by a few mm, it wont line up properly.
Probably better off buying a normal set of risers that sit lower than stock. (I am presently looking for some myself)

If you just want to lower the bars a bit, move them to the forward location on the riser (there are two postions) and then loosen the clamp and rotate bars downward. Just a thought to see if you like the lower position. You just need to make sure you turn the controls to keep them in proper position. I did this before committing to clip on bars.
Why not just pick up a lower bar? You can go as low as a flat bar, like the FZ1 bar, and spend similar money. My FZ1 bars with the risers rotated forward are perfect, as low as I can go without issues, and cost me $40.
