OK so I need a new clutch lever having busted the knob off the end of the current one. OEM part is some ridiculous price like $86 or summat.
Where might I get something cheaper than that. It doesn't need to be made of solid gold like the OEM above...

Most bike shops have the catalogues of aftermarket fittings that are copies ... not OEM.
Go talk to a few shops (before they all close for good)

Don't think $86 is too obscene.
I went aftermarket when my front brake lever broke off inside the perch... whole new master cylinder unit @ $950. Never come across a lever so strong (and it didn't break at the break points).
As ducatilover said, Ebay had folding, adjustable length and clickers for distance from bar. A set would set you back roughly the same, but have a look. More functional than stock for me, especially adventure riding.

I'll go talk to Boyds tomorrow morning.
EDIT: Boyds have one for a little over $30.00 - original part evidently. Pick up tomorrow morning.
But thanks to all for your suggestions.
