I don't know about levers but if it is a general problem of being able to pull the lever as the clutch can feel heavy is to fit a Muller or Clutchlite ramp device.

Clutchlite is a simple change to the ramp - http://www.clutchlite.de/en_product.html

Muller is a complete ramp as it also has a slightly longer lever where the cable connects - https://www.arhcustom.co.uk/product/...-models-120-30

One thing you will find with both is how nice you can make cast parts compared to HD!

It's a reach thing, can only get the tips of her fingers on the clutch. So create poor control and fatigue.

These adjustable levers by Oberon are popular for riders with short fingers. They have both the clutch and brake levers and you can choose different colors. They're a UK company, but you can get 'em from retailers here.

+1 on the Oberons. Super high quality and the design also seems to increase the ease of using the lever.

The easy-pull type are designed such that the lever engagement and dis-engagement is closer to the handlebar, which will work in your favor with her small hands.
