Default Adjustable brake levers?

Anyone have modded or know of aftermarket parts that will fit?
i dont have big hands and the brake levers are a bit too far.
Mostly the front brake lever, it would be nice if this was adjustable, closer reach etc.

rancher 420at here,
thanks in advance

If you heat them up red hot, you MAYYY be able to bend them closer. But if you do that, you may not get full braking. The lever may hit the bar before the wheels lock up.

I have done my homework online, did some reasearch, so far , it looks like a cbr 600 1988-89, has the same exact lever as an 08-11 Rancher 420.
so in theory, the adjustable ones that fir those models will fit a rancher. I might experiment with this..

i used a CBR600 honda 1989 adjustable front brake handles. it fits perfect BUT

you need to modify it so the brake light switches work.
I modded it, now my front brake levers are adjustable!
