I am having second thoughts about a Versys due to my 30 inch legs and its 33.3 inch seat. Changing the shock linkage, or in this case installing a relocation bracket, is a common way to lower single shock bikes and I found this one for the Versys:
New seat height now is 31.25 inches without cutting the seat. Given that there are 2 inch lower gel seats or Somchai could mod one, it now longer seems such a towering impossibility.

Once lowered, the stands needs shortening as well, but I imagine that you could just cut it shorter and weld on a foot:

Their suggested fix for the front is slide the legs up in the triple tree.
