Default making clutch handle easy to pull

Anyone one have any products or tricks to making the clutch handle easier to pull?
I'm heading out to Sturgis this August from So Cal but recently tore a ligament in my left hand middled finger. Shouldn't be riding but need to try something.

Lubing the cable goes a long way.

Check out the Mueller Power Clutch.
It's on my list for upcoming mods.

Muller makes a power clutch product for either cable or hydraulic. I have both, and the reduction in pull pressure is significant.

As you get to be an older man, you might think twice. This isn't one of my aches in my arms, but I can see how it could be for some.

Greasing the pivot point might help too. I realize not exactly what you are looking for. But after I lube my clutch I swear to myself I am not going to wait so long before I did it again If a guy was having issue, I would say more the better.
