Darn it, came out of a heavy training session tonight rode off. Bit later parked up on a badly cambered road. Came back to bike took it off centre stand and dropped it
Only damage was that the front brake snapped, it left enough for me to get 2 fingers on it to get home. Is this a simple repair that i should attempt myself? Or do I need to put it in the shop?
Where would i get the part from?

If you can undo a nut and bolt and put them back on again you can change the lever.Originally Posted by greenhorn

A pattern lever (not Honda original)will cost about 5 quid from any bike dealer or the likes of Wemoto online.

It looked that easy but wasn't sure. Thanks!

It really is. Clutch lever is slightly more difficult because you have to fight with the cable, but the brake lever is a doddle, undo and remove the nut underneath, unscrew the bolt, pull the old lever out and then replace with the new.
