Lowering a 2001 Road King Classic

I would like to lower my 2001 Road King Classic about an inch or two ... Because I am 5'7" tall and currently my heals do not touch the ground ... What is the best way to lower this bike without causing any clearance problems and without costing a ton of money? A picture of the bike is shown below .... Thanks

Seat Maybe?

They replace the stock foam with more dense memory foam so the change in seat height doesnt degrade comfort.
