You are on the right track. I would suggest the 1' Lowered option. When you sart using lowering links the geometry changes and it makes the rider weight heavier. If you are riding a lot with a passenger you might consider the RAP (Remote Adjustable Preload) version. This allows you crank in or take out preload by turning the knob. This is what I have on my 88 KLR.
If needed you can go to a lowering link but I would suggest the Corbin Dual Platform seat.

This is also my choice for the KLR
I am 5'9" with a 30" inseam and I run the Progressive RAP in the standard length.
