I am sorry to hear this Jody, I don't have the problem (yet ?), but I feel with you. In particular since I lived in Huntsville, AL for a long time, and I am sure we have been traveling some of the same tarmac.
My 2019 CB's clutch is as light as one can imagine. May be you could trade your older model for a newer 2017 or later model ? If that's not available in the U.S., somebody here on the forum may know whether the 2016 model does already have the easier clutch ?
Other thoughts ? I cannot imagine that the pressure needed to operate the system can be modified. So the clutch lever alone cannot change that (more leverage would have to go alongside with more travel). But if you find a replacement for the whole assembly including the reservoir, that could make a difference. At that is certainly worth a search for aftermarket parts.
A very different thought ? I know that arthritis is not easily cured, but nutrition plays a role. Is it worth talking to a doctor, or ... another doctor. Getting rid of this problem may be more important than fixing the clutch ?
All the best, Jody !!
