Default Hand controls for small hands

My wife has a Nightster with stock hand controls. Unfortunately she is 5' 4" with small hands. Does anyone know of a set of hand controls that accommodate for small hands?

You could get a set of 7/8" bars and some Buell S1 or M2 hand controls.

Harley built a set part # 56478-04 1.3" diameter. I found a set on EBAY for my wife. They aren't fancy but they work well for small hands.
