Okay, I've been reading up the last couple of days about handlebars.
I'm thinking about getting the OL a set of 14" or 16" bars for her 14 RK. She's not too short (5'6") but would like the bars closer to her and the reach between the bars closer together.
Is this the setback that I am looking for to get the bars closer to her? And, how is this measured?

I just went through this process myself (and it IS a process, if done correctly).
My best advice to you is this: "Measure twice. Cut once."
Ergonomically speaking, ideal positioning places your wrists above your elbows, and your elbows below your shoulders.
In other words, do your homework:
If you're doing the job yourself, then all it costs is your time; but if you're having an indy or dealer do the job, then it can get expensive.
Remember, you only want to do this once!
