I put a POWER CLUTCH in my wifes bike made a large difference. They are a little expensive but are full proof and work.https://www.denniskirk.com/muller-mo...ch.p382823.prd

I recently replaced the original stock cable on my 1990 Glide with a Diamondback. It is so smooth and easy to use I took off the Clutchlite I had on the bike. If the cable is original I suggest replacing that first. The Diamondback is expensive but hi-tech and works very well.
Devices like the Muller and Clutchlite (there are other similar brands) all increase lever travel to get the same lift at the clutch. On older bikes that is marginal and I found I had problems getting full disengagement. That can mean not being able to find neutral with the engine running.
There is another device that mounts at the lever end I was recommended to fit, which gets around that problem. I don't recall its name, but it looks like a small box that is attached to the left switch housing. That would be a better alternative if you can find it!

I have this on my Fat-bot 1500 and Saber 1100, it's great!
Takes all the force out of pulling the clutch.
If you do not want to get into the engine, www.AdaptiveTechnologyLLC.com has produced the EZ-F Powered Clutch System for anyone that has problems pulling the clutch. I have one on my Fat-boy and it works perfectly. I can pull the clutch handle with one finger. I also had nerve damage to my left arm. It is all done electro-mechanically and it is easy to install between the clutch handle and clutch cable and mounts to the handle bars, windshield, or frame. It solved my problem of not being able to ride.

I had a '95 sportster and could not pull the clutch in. I think for that year they only made the Mueller(?) ezpull clutch. Harley didn't have the EZpull back then. I had it installed and the clutch became very easy to pull. The clutch didn't have to be replaced, it was installed in the lever I think. Anyway, it worked great.
