I have provided a link below to her new bars. Thanks for you time and thank you for all the help this forum has already given me.

She wants her levers out by the grips, not in by by the stem, right? Unless you want to have to shim them, you should not be looking for 25.4 or 26.0 clamp levers. The ends of riser bars are generally 22.2mm. BMX or mountain bike style levers with a reach compatible to work with road calipers are what you should be after.
