The Everything M8 Street Bob Thread

Well after some Mother's Day bike fitting, she's on board with going with a pullback MX bar setup. The stock mini-apes are 11" from the top of the tress and 34" at their widest point and I haven't been able to measure pullback yet. Doing the hand placement exercise, she needs narrower bars that are pulled back about 3" and about 10" high. I'm looking at the Thrashin 6.5" pullback risers and the Biltwell Tracker mid bends. That would get her 10" from the top of the tress, 30.25" total width and 4.5" of pullback. It'll depend on how much pullback the stock bars have to know what she'll gain, but I can tell that it's not 4.5", maybe 2.5"?

They are Biltwell.
I have the 10" bars, I'm 5'9" tall.

Today I put some of the H-D parts, acquired over the last couple of weeks, on the bike...
H-D black rear axle covers; H-D black front axle covers; H-D black headlight trim ring; H-D black clutch and brake levers; Adversary handgrips; Adversary Derby cover; Adversary Timing cover; Adversary Brake Pedal (I bought a second-hand brake arm and modified it so that I could fit the brake pedal), I also fitted an adjustable rear brake lever.

Need your help....
Really deflated - OH went to take out the Street Bob today - got about 5 mins up the road, turned around and came back - she couldn't control it properly because of the reach to the clutch lever
So, I've searched around and it appears that there are adjustable levers out there.
I've come across, Oberons, Rick's and PSR.
However, before shelling out a load of dosh I need to find the ones that give the best fit/reach.
She has small hands and needs the clutch lever to be around an inch nearer the grip.
This could be achieved by the ergonomic design of the lever, i.e. rather than it bending forward, it being more straight - I've tried to show this in the following picture.
If I can't get the ergonomics right, what about adjustability?
Which manufacturer/levers would offer the best solution?
TIA
P.S. Any comparison pictures against standard would be awesome.
