Try a smaller lever. And maybe if you have an old one bend it so it will sit pretty close to the H.B.'s

Note I am not a woman so don't hold me to any of this. Try and see what she thinks you should do. Most of the time women arn't going to be happy with alot about the atv's controlls. Us men are to overwhelmed that we have an atv and don't notice the discomfort until its to late and were in the middle of a race. Try a closer bending bar and maybe mess with the position of the bar a little bar. This may require bending it to. What type of bike does she race. If its a yfz then the chances of her finding somthing she likes is minimal. They are set up for performance not comfort. Now say a blaster or something with a little less performance minded marketing may be the way to go.

Get a set of ASV levers, they adjust to get a little shorter grip and I just saw a Dec. special running for them.

Yeah, they ran an ad in the mags and on their site. You can also get a great deal on factory rebuilt ones on Fleabay.

I have an RTC which is adjustable... it helped some. My problem is mostly it being harder to pull in. Maybe a hydrolic clutch would be your solution:)

Switch to steel braided brake lines up front. They will give better braking power with less lever movement.

I have the ASV's and love them. The clutch pull is the next best thing to a Magura as well. You can adjust them in pretty close to the bars while still having proper engagement. Steel lines will also help tremendously.
