looking for a brake handle

I was harassed going around a sandy corner during road construction and snapped off my front brake handle on my '07 Key West.  I guess I was going too slow and careful around this corner and the SUV behind me honked their horn at me and it freaked me out and i think i tensed up and grabbed the front brake mid turn.  no injuries, i was hardly moving. sure enough the front end slid out and snapped the handle as it fell.  do i need to order from a dealer or can i get a generic one somewhere?  thanks Harry if you are the one that helps out yet again!  you rock.  i have read so many of your posts and they have been so helpful!  also doing a gear oil change and wondered the best way to measure 90ml of gear oil and apply it.

thanks!!!

yeah i can get you a new one.....

as for the gear oil usually i use a old style pump oil can
 for gear oil but the
90wt  is just too thick to pump
 so i use a old bottle and just add the 90ml
 then i only can put in the right amount..
a word of caution ! do not over fill or you can/will blow oil seals

i ended up using the old filler and mine did work with the heavy wight oil.  i counted how may pumps it tok to get to 90ml and then pumped in that much. it looked pretty full but not over flowing.  i also removed the brass ring to let it go over 31-32mph, and it does do about 42mph now, but now i hear a soft whistling noise from the tranny?!?  is that normal or did i screw something up?  thanks again!
