I'm prettty sure that the rear suspension uses a link, so fabricating a new dog bone could produce the seat height you seek. Have a look at the lower mount of the rear shock; does it mount directly to the swingarm, or does it attach to a link that passes through the swingarm?

If it uses a link, have a look underneath the bike. There should be a dogbone-shaped piece that connects the link to the frame. I think that a longer dogbone would lower the seat height.

Please take pics and show us what you find.
