Default Need help identifying part

I recently purchased a 2004 CVO Deuce with an aftermarket forward control setup installed. As I was loading the bike the bike tipped and bent the shift lever. Problem is no one can figure out who made this part. One dealer thought it was Arlen Ness, and while it looks like it, all the Ness ones I have seen have much more metal after the cutout. Another dealer said it was not Ness because it was not heavy enough. As of now I cannot ride the bike. Everyone says if I bend it back it will snap then or in the future.

If anyone can identify this or a suitable replacement I would be grateful!

Look at kuryakyn stuff, hinky set up like that looks like they'd do.

I'd just bend it back and ride till you find something else, like a better control set.

Lay it on a piece of wood and a deadblow hammer will work, don't use a vise.

Careful bending it back. Your pics already show stress cracks in the chrome. I would at least attempt bending but I think I would try to heat it up first. Hard to tell if it's steel or aluminum in the pics, which will make a difference in how hard it will be to bend back. If you do it right, you can at least ride until you find a suitable replacement. Good luck
