Default Brake lever for fatboy lo

Does anyone know where I can find a replacement brake lever for my 2012 fatboy lo? I bought the bike used and just now realized that it is slightly curled. I have been searching the internet for a while
now and cannot find the polished aluminum one. I wouldn't mind replacing both with black ones, but would prefer to only replace the brake lever.

On a side note, I am a little nervous on how it got bent. There was no accident report and no other damage on the bike, of course that doesn't mean it was never wrecked but still. It seems to ride just fine too.

Your nearest neighborhood HD Dealer would be a good place to start. Then if you're not happy with that option try the J&P catalog or the Drag Specialties Fatbook.

Pretty much (and I don't mean to be sarcastic) every single aftermarket and replacement parts company on the face of the earth, sells replacement and custom levers for your motorcycle. If you found this forum, could you not find JP Cycles, Dennis Kirk, Ebay, Harley Davidson, Arlen Ness, and every other seller to find a set of levers to replace your bent part? If you truly need help in this endeavor.... Here:

I went to ebay, typed in FatBoy Lo Levers and got over four thousand options. Give that a try.

Thanks. I'm not sure why I couldn't find it before. I must have been overthinking it.

Sorry. I'm new to Harley and was just overwhelmed, especially noticing the bent lever.

Please, no need to apologize. I promise, everything is a learning curve.
Get it sorted out, and enjoy one of the best models Harley has yet to produce.

Thanks guy. I ordered the replacement.

Yea, hand levers.

I see there is a trick to protect the brake switch, but otherwise seems like an easy swap.
