Feather or even pull the clutch all the way in if you need to keep going real slow or just give a little more throttle and go. Depends on the circumstances of course. Sometimes parking lot/slow traffic can wear out the clutch hand when not used to it.

Not that I like cruising at 10mph, I just wish I could without having to choose between the following:
1. Feather the ridiculously heavy clutch.
2. Don't feather the cluth but be shimmied all over the seat because of the lurching of the engine.
But since I do have to make a choice, I go with #1.

I don't know if you've done Stage 1 yet, but if you do get a goodStage 1 setup, it helps with the lugging. I gained enough low-end torque my Sportster can actually run around 2,000-2,200 now without lugging -- in any gear. Of course anything above that isn't lugging either.
