Throttle spring

Has anyone come up with a fix for the high-effort throttle spring(s) on the '77-'78 750's ?
Any help is appreciated.

I found that using a larger grip size was a good way to gain a bit of mechanical advantage - resulting in an easier twist and less chance of cramping. The black foam with chome from vintagecb750 was a good fit. Not original look but comfort wins out...

On my K6, 750 I replaced the heavy stock spring with one I found at the big box store. Same length/diameter but lighter weight. Greatly reduced grip effort but still has enough force to close the throttle fully when the grip is released.

Dunno if this may apply to all models, but IMO this is simple and effective:
