Default 1997 Intruder Clutch

I have a 1997 VS1400GL Intruder with a slipping clutch.
I purchased third hand in 2002. Prior owner says he replaced the clutch at 7800 miles. I now have 15000 miles on the bike and it slips in 5th gear. I read the article on replacing the springs on the 1500 could this be the same solution? I have 2 questions: Does this bike have a bad rep on clutches. Does anyone know if there is an after market clutch out there. My first time on a chat site Thanks for the help. Bob
