I would lower the forks in the triples a proportionate amount, so that the bike retains the same rake / trail / fork angle.
That's a good idea to suspend from the ceiling. When you say lower the bike, do you mean let it down on the ground to the seat height that I require?

I will most definitely raise the forks in the triples to balance it out and keep the same geometry.

Thanks for your suggestion.
