Clean uly!congrats
Hey I happened to stumble upon this thread. Are you looking for a lower seat? I have one that came with my bike that I don't want. Trying to sell it. I posted it here in another thread: HERE . Give me a shout if you're interested!
No idea if you're still looking, bumped into this.

^^Has anyone ever used a "kit" like that? I would be skeptical of it as it's billed as "universal" across all XB models, despite the longer frame/swingarm of the X/XT/P/SS/STT models vs standard S/Scg/R models. Also, it only addresses the rear suspension and not the front...
I wandered in here as I just picked up an 08 XB12XT and with a 5'6" frame and 29" inseam have been asking all the same questions. Can I handle the bike as is? Sure, but, would like it a little lower. Looking in to the SS suspension/kickstand swap that some have mentioned... thinking that's the best route.
As I mentioned earlier, you can buy seats that will drop it an inch or 2. I have one of those said seats that I'm looking to sell...
You can get a SCG rear shock , and getto style cut the front springs 1" , But dont tell any body I told you to do this.
Two more dirty tricks to get your feet on the ground, I am sure I will .FIREdevil.giffor showing you this.

Master bodger at work, well done sir....... Not sure I would have shared though.
Reshaping of the seat at the front pays biggest dividends, especially a reduction in width ( and probably cheapest solution)
