Default Clutch ramp damage 86' Sportster 883

Hey guys I'm new to motorcycles and the forum I bought an 86 Sportster 883 not too long ago great condition. This past weekend I removed the Primary cover to paint, when I removed the cover I probably missed a few steps the clutch cable kind just shot out and when I opened the cover the clutch ramp hook had broken apart from the ramp, looks like an easy fix just that my cover and clutch ramp assembly looks like it doesn't come apart, looks as if it's one whole piece with the cover is this possible? if so do they sell this cover or what should I do? I mean it looks like it has some screws but they look like they're there for show, as in they look welded... I appreciate all the help I can get
