Default Clutch levers?

Im typing in pain at the moment as I think I've sprained my wrist this afternoon. Just pulled up to wait for a mate and put my foot down which slipped on some wet ground. Next thing the bike has tipped beyond the point of no return. Tried to save it but had bulky winter gloves on and just couldnt hold it. Knackered my wrist up but managed to lay the bike down without dropping it. Rested onto the R&G bung (which has no marks on it at all) and the clutch lever which now looks like a Pazzo 3 finger! Its bent round so can it be straightened out or do I need a new un?

if it's steel then you could bend it back, if its alloy then it's likely to snap, although given that it bent in the drop and not snapped then it's probably steel and should bend back.

I thought new uns were only a tenner or so...maybe a hunt in the for sale section might turn up something?

you could warm the alloy with a blow torch and try easing it back into position, might do as a good spare.
