There is no low chassis, all the lowering is done via the suspension.

Lowered 30mm front - & 30mm rear - Low centre, & side stands & if required seating -

You have to have ESA to get factory low as they use the auto suspension to assist damping etc

If you want, you can buy a non ESA bike change to a 30mm lowered wilburs front & rear , low centre and side stand and you have effectively a factory low bike

If you buy a hexhead, (pre LC) fit the low seat, & fit 30mm lowered Wilburs front and rear & lower centre and side stand, you will have a seat height of 790mm

If you buy an LC factory low - 30mm lowered suspension F&R by electronic means, low side & centre stand and a low seat you will have a seat height of 820mm ??

They made the bike / seat wider, so any gains in lowering, are lost in width. you then need low seat bobbins & an ultra low seat 790/800mm

The frame/ chassis is the same for all bikes,
 
Denzo on here has just lowered my bike(06 hexhead)to factory spec by fitting shorter heavier springs to std shocks sidestand hasn’t been changed and centre stand is only marginally harder, not sure if he can do ESA shocks. Will give you a wider choice of bikes.
