Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a
mistake when you make it again.

I'm taking your advice on lowering the bike. I've ordered the 1 1/2" lowering links from ne-oublie and am lowering the front about 1/2".
I've noticed that on slow turns (like a U-turn) I don't even need to touch the throttle at all, just feather the clutch and rear brake some and do some counterbalancing seems to do the trick.
Anyone else have success with this?Sex Panther cologne -- 60% of the time, it works every time

Since you've already ordered the lowering links, that's a great step (and saves me a bunch of advice on how to lower it or raise you).
Other tidbit:
Plan how you're going to park in advance of getting into the space -- if a parking space is angled (uphill), turn the bike before you park it, so you don't have to walk it backwards uphill.
Oh, and read the newbie thread: http://katriders.com/vb/showthread.php?t=61328

If you're really in a pinch, you can use a technique some of the "stuntas" have come up with. Totally not squidly, very useful and was in fact demonstrated a couple years back in SportRider mag.
You lean the bike all the way over on the side stand, reach over and grab the subframe or passenger peg hanger on the opposite side of the bike with your right hand. Make sure your feet are firmly planted, and give a heave-ho so the rear wheel is in the air. You can now pivot the bike on the side stand. I don't use it very often, but it does come in handy, especially in a tight garage with multiple bikes in it. I'm not very good at it, and it takes me about 5 goes to get the bike 180 degrees around...so I'm not showing off in front of anybody by any means...on the contrary, I'd rather no one was looking.
There must be a You Tube video on this out there somewhere of some slick a$$ motohead doing it right...I'm just too lazy to look.

The fix is to replace the lower subframe (got one here if someone needs one), or to grind away the powdercoat & reweld, then redrill the hold. A true PIA in either case for the penalty of not walking it in backwards to start with.
