Is the OP talking about a 1000 or 650??
My missus now rides the K7 Wee (=650), that we went together to Australia with. She´s..... errmm, quite short (I guess I could ask her exact length, but don´t have it now!), and we put longer linkage parts to the rear suspension. These were made by a dealer nearby, didn´t cost much, and they lowered the back end by about 1 inch. We then dropped the front forks about the same amount, and took the rubbers away from behind the seat (put some duct tape or something there to avoid scratching the subframe). We also made special ´double soles´ for her riding shoes! All in all I think it is at least 1,5 inches lower at the seat, feels like a scooter to me, still a tiny bit high for her, mostly because it is a top-heavy bike, but she´s managing it alright. There is also a lower seat available, but we haven´t got that yet. Ground clearance is very bad now, we had to take the centerstand off the bike as it was scraping to the ground way too easily. But for normal road riding it´s quite okay.
In fact I just bought a new 2012 Wee for myself... haven´t even ridden it yet! Do note, that this model´s seat height as stock is a bit higher than the older 2004-2011 model. I think it should be possible to lower it pretty much the same ways as the older one.
