Easy Pull Clutch Levers
I don't have any experience with these products and I'd like to find something to make the clutch pull easier for my wife on her new 21 Heritage.
Do these things perform in real life as the marketing claims they do?
Here's an example - http://www.elitemototech.com/product...bkcl-combo.htm
Is there a better alternative?

Can you help me understand what you mean by "feels better"? Is the clutch easier to pull? Did it move the friction zone?

Call them about the lighter springs.
A new lever does basically nothing. A good adjustable lever may help by reducing the reach a bit.

Levers with different configurations can help for some hands in placing the lever closer to the grip or allowing more finger contact. The lever by itself can not reduce effort it can only provide a different grip profile that allows more efficient use of the hand. The results are totally dependent on the users hand shape, strength and size.
As an example my wife benefits from a Soft on Brake lever. She is 5'2" with normal size hands for her size. The Soft Brake lever is angled to bring it closer to the grip so she can get more fingers contact with the lever. She now grips the lever further back on her finger not pulling the lever with just her finger tips.

clutch is definitely easier to pull. The way the 1FNGR clutch works you get rid of one of the little plastic pieces and the end of the clutch cable sits directly in the new clutch perch that comes with the lever. The friction zone did not move for me

Am I correct to presume it is a hydraulic clutch? If so, check out the Aim LFv3 (Light Force). It is a replacement clutch cylinder slave which is easy to install and works great to both reduce the effort required to actuate the clutch, and moves the friction zone closer to the grip.
I installed one on my ‘19 CVO Limited and it worked perfectly as advertised. I didn’t have any problems with the pressure, but wanted to move the friction zone.
