Default Reducing Clutch Pull

To make a long story short. My son-in-law just lost his index and middle fingers on his left hand in a construction accident. He rides a 2012 Street Glide and is understandably worried about being able to pull the clutch. His bike is a 103 with what I believe is a stock clutch. What's the best way to reduce his clutch pull effort without compromising the ability of the clutch, APC with the 37882-06A spring or Muller Power Clutch?

Or is there another way that I don't know about? I want to give him the best chance for success with this but I have a limited budget.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Ditch the clutch completely, check out the Rekluse Auto Clutch.

Also Burly brand makes an ez pull clutch setup. Easy to install and makes a big difference. It has no ill effects on your clutch itself. Been running them for years.

This might be the inexpensive way to go. They reduce clutch pull buy about 33%. The big issue is that it reduces pressure plate travel by 33%.. To get around that you can remove the damper spring and spacer in the clutch..

Don't you still have to pull the clutch in to shift gears?
