You can lower them a little by fitting a thinner rubber on top of the front shock, I left it out by accident, quite surprising really.

+1 lower seat and perhaps adjust the bars so they're a tad closer. much MUCH cheaper than doing this any other way. Any seat customiser will be able not just to lower your standard (or 'low') seat to suit you - they will also improve your comfort levels immensely due to the far higher quality of foams they use.
If your seat happens to be a standard one - then consider the Sargent. not only is this far superior in quality (and comfort levels) to the OE - it is also - as standard - an inch lower.
seems completely oddball to me to go down the expensive route first before exploring the cheap and simple options.
seat remade £100 - bar adjustment £30

Lowering the entire motorcycle and lowering the seat are two different options. Lowering my 1200 would make life easier for Mrs Bear when she climbs on board behind me, and might well make the plot (pillion + full luggage) less unweildy at awkward off-camber junctions. Lowering the seat would cause me considerable discomfort as the seat and footpegs are, as standard, too close for comfort for a 36 inch inseam. Lowering the seat is, as previously posted, the cheaper option, but it isn't always the way to do it.

If you go down the route of fitting new/shorter springs, there's a guy in Corsham who will be able to fit and adjust them for you. A small business called MH racing. I don't have his number, but I can get it if you want it.
I'm also hoping you don't give up and sell the bike.
My other half 'Kleine Blumen' is looking for someone in the Wiltshire area 'and we're just over the hill from you' who has a lowered one she can have a sit on, because she has a hankering (though I think they're just too big/heavy for her) for one. She's currently riding a very nice 100GS that I've lowered by about five inches at the seat.
