The Harley Sportster does indeed have a low seat height.  I just
got a new one (whee!) and it's wonderful to be able to put both
my feet down flat when I stop.

As for modifying a bike to lower the seat, I don't think there's
an awful lot that can be done because of the frame.  Most bikes
have the seat mounted pretty much as low as it can be.  The only
way you could lower it is to modify the frame.

Of course, you could always put a hardtail on the bike (:-).
