Arthritis and Clutch Lever

[pekingduck]

I found this which is specifically for people that have trouble with activating the clutch.

Then there is also a foot clutch...

And numerous electric shifters that either eliminate or substantially reduce the amount of clutch use required...

I would imagine some aren't compatible with the CB1100 and most will probably be expensive by the time you get them installed, but if they keep you riding!

These are some interesting ideas, but they seem largely for cable activated clutches, not hydraulic.

I am curious about this complaint, as to how it affects anyone's riding.
Is the pain from every clutch pull, or only where you have to hold the lever in?
Is it the span you have to reach, from on the grip to extending the the fingers out?
Does it get worse with more repetitions?
Does it affect how smoothly you let the clutch out?
Is it a problem on the right hand, so that braking is affected?
