Friction Zone Enhancement

[webbmeister25d]

It seems that there is a device manufactured for Yamaha cruisers that consists of an OEM clutch lever drilled in such a way that the geometry of the pull is changed. Two things are claimed to result: First, the pressure needed to pull the lever in is diminished by about 1/3 (good for arthritic hands etc.?) and second, the friction zone starts with the lever much closer to the handle and is somewhat wider (leading to greater comfort and better low speed control?)

There is also discussion about how this is an old moto-cross trick for getting better control of the friction zone for competitive riding. It is described as something that has been a diy-type project since "forever." I've never heard of it - but I'm new and haven't heard of much. Here's the address of the commercial product: http://www.theclevver.com. Thoughts? Helpful for a GZ (assuming a diy project using a GZ lever as the project base)?
