Default Need bars with more pull back

My wife has a 2005 sportster low. She is 4'11". I have the solo lepera seat, large tank and a lowering kit. She now fits well, but she wants the bars closer to her. She has to lean a bit forward and it is not 100% comfortable for her. I have posted the Harley bar chart (link) below. I have taken measurements of the stock bars, but still don't know which bar listed below is the stock bar. From there I can probably figure out what bars to buy. Does someone know which bar below is stock? Also any recommendation on a bar that will come back closer to her is also appreciated.

Thanks guys!

Here is a link to the Harley site bar chart:

Once there you will need to click on - Handlebar Measurements Comparison Chart


Thanks for any help!

You can get away with putting 4" risers (2" up and 2" back) without having to change any wires or cables. Just another an option for you.

Just keep in mind that you will have to get some slack in the electrical wire. Theres enough there you just have to adjust them.
