I'm short and ride tight singles all the time. Depending on the particular fork, I've dropped them through the triples with as much as 9mm above the top clamp.
At the moment I'm running some KYBs with reduced offset. I don't think it particularly helps as they also feel a bit heavier (take more effort to instigate a turn).
Apart from lowering the front, you could try raising the rear. 2012+ chasis responds well to approx. 98mm sag.
I simply set up for the corners. Use brakes or power or both to position the bike where you want. Rear brake sets the back end nicely. A good handful of front brake can make it dive a little to tighten up. Lean it over and slip the clutch and she'll scoot across. To be honest, I probably encounter more issues with the bar ends contacting tight trees (being wide across) than I do due to the bike not turning where I need it to.
