Mustang low. I have one I would let go real cheap, doesn't go with the direction I am taking the bike. Also, mean city - currently when two up I am using modified stock done by mean city. Lots of opinions on lowering blocks, will effect lean angle for sure but a lot of folks use them without problem.

I'm between 5'7" and 5'8" depending on the time of day etc. With some minor effort I can get both heels on the ground when I'm on my EGC but I want a bit more control with this 900 pound beauty.
As far as I know my options are as follows
Shave the sides of the seat a bit and maybe the thickness. Reasonably inexpensive.
Lower seat. A bit more expensive and hopefully as comfy as stock
Lower shocks. More expensive yet.
Boots with thicker soles.
Have I missed anything?
What is the down side of lower shocks.

I had the same issue. I have the Mustang Dual Touring seat,(not the low down) sent it to Mean City Cycles and had it tailored. Works great. Now they have the Low Down seat which I understand is good. You can always find the Hayley reduced reach seat. You can find them on EBay. I also used lowering blocks for awhile until I got my seat done. Now I have Progressive 12" 412's on the rear and all is good. Good luck.
