Hi Folks,
So after an accident, the motorcycle fell to it's left and causing miminal damagae to the overall bike. The mirrors and gear shift lever needs replacing... Any suggestions for the part, ebay?

You in the UK? Fowlers I'd say. Ebay might have a second hand one if you want that. If you want new, then Fowlers is a good bet.

Looks like a steel one. I'd just straighten it. Take it off, clamp in a vice (with padded jaws to prevent damaging the chrome), take the rubber off and bend it straight using a bit of pipe over the end. Bit of heat will make it easier but could blow the chrome off.

you could probably straighten it whilst its on the bike using a ring spanner.

Try a magnet on it. If it's steel, bend it straight. If it's ally it'll probably snap if you try.

OK, SO i had a go at straightening it and the damm thing is soo hard!
Then it was off to the garage. One of them said take to another. So I did, he said he could not do it. It may break and they can't do it.

So scouring the internet, I've come across this one on Ali Express:

have you tried straightening your bent lever?

ive done this on past bikes by just getting a ring spanner over it and bending it back into the correct position.

Yes. It was impossible to bend it back. Took it to some mechanics and then can;t do it. Saying it will break

It didn't break when the bike fell over to the left, why would it break now? The fact that it's tweaked shows that the metal possesses some degree of malleability. Apply a little heat and bend it back proper; it will last for years.
