    First drop of the bike 1 hour after getting it home. lol.

    Anyway the brake lever is bent very badly.

    Anywhere online to order a new one for a Honda Varadero or will dealers have these things in stock?

    Poo! I paid about €20 or €25 each over the counter from my local guy a couple of times for OEM ones and he aint usually cheap. I reckon you won't save much by getting them online.

    "Drop 1"? Sounds like you're intending on dropping it again? Stay positive!

    You can pick generic one for about €20 to €25.

    A genuine Honda one will set you back about €48.

    Try around the local bike shops in your area.

    M and P are back in business after the fire last month. Useful for parts like that.

    In the meantime you can try bend it back if you heat it up with a blowtorch or similar.

    Thankfully its not bent so bad that i cant use it. Picking up the new lever tomorrow so should be ok.

    Dont want to try and bend it back just incase it breaks and i cant ride at all.
