Default 1994 FXDWG poor front brake, help!!

Having recently become the owner of a 1994 FXDWG 1340 Evo I am somewhat disappointed

at the lack of front braking power.

I have some arthritis in my hands & finger joints & am finding it difficult to pull the front

break lever with sufficient force.

I find the brake lever to bar distance too great for my quite small hands & am wondering

if there are any adjustable span brake levers for this model available?

Also is there any relatively cheap method of upgrading the braking system up front that

won't cost me a fortune?

Any suggestions & advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I am located in Ireland & not the U.S.
