It's snowing and I was excited and I already dropped the bike and broke the clutch lever. I really want to find the exact same clutch level. Is there somewhere I can buy original parts from?

Probably a good idea. I see myself falling more in the future

It's a dirt bike. I'd drop mine a dozen times or more per ride back when I was doing singletrack. Now I mostly just ride forest access roads, but I still have them. They do a great job protecting your hands too. There are countless times branches have bounced off my bar-ends instead of my hands. One time a car was turning into me when I was next to it, and the bar ends saved my ass. I basically punched the car with the bar ends, which got the driver's attention and she stopped rather than running me over. I would have broke my hand if I didn't have that protection. They're a great investment. I recommend Acerbis.

And make sure to get actual wraparound guards and not just the plastic deflectors.

I have Acerbis on one bike and Enduro Engineering on another. Both good.

I like my Enduro engineering guards more than my Ascerbis. May just be the models I bought, but there's a big difference.
