Default Problem reaching clutch/brake levers

I need some short reach hand levers for a 93 1200 Sporty. I put on some Kuryakyn trigger levers as advised by the HD dealership but even though they are better, still doesn't solve my problem. I need a shorter distance between the grips and the levers. Any ideas or suggestions?

If you can't find adjustable grips you may have to have yours modified.

You could try a pair of "Custom Chrome Ergonomic Lever Blades". They are rotated 10 degrees, so they should be quite a bit closer.

Just thinking out loud, but stock Harley grips are quite thick, so are there any thinner ones out there? Every little helps the small hand!

Thanks Ranger! Hoping I don't have to do that. Gonna try a few other things first and if push comes to shove, I may have to.
