Missing Neutral.....
North Franklin county really is upstate NY. Upstate NY for me is more like central NY, but upstate relative to the city. I am in southern Herkimer county, east of the city of Utica.

Call me crazy, but I had this problem when I first got my bike and after a few hundred miles and understanding the feel I can find neutral as easy now just like my old single days when trying to pop a bra with 1 hand. Dang I got so good at that - probably what impressed my wife and why she married me.
I will say this, my last bike (not an HD) had a huge problem getting the bike to go into neutral and took it into the dealer and they told me that is just how these bikes are. Needless to say, I aint riding that bike no more...

I called REDLINE and was told to be sure to use TRANSMISSION FLUID in the Tranny and not their GEAR OIL for shifting problems. I put Tranny in Tranny and neutral is there with ease and so is the dang clunk most of the time. I can get a quite gear sometime but more clunks than not.
