Default Lower Seat Height

I just found a heck of a deal on a 1979 Suzuki GS750, but i've run into a problem, you all.

The seat height on it is at about 31" i believe, and im a short guy (only 5'4, 130 lbs.). I'm comfortable at a seat heigh of around 29", but how am i going to acheive that with this bike? i did a search for lowering kits and what not and found nothing. i know i can shave the seat, but i probably still won't get enough out of it. what other options are out there for older bikes like this?

PS: i'm on a budget too...19 year old guy living with his brothers with only a part time job; it hurts the pocket book.
