Thanks John. Scratched stock exhaust, right case cover and bar end. The rubber lever thingy was torn and my ego bruised.
Oddly, it took a lot longer to install the replacement thingy than it did the first time. What finally worked for me was to wash my hands and the thingy with soap and water, dry with towel. Apply a tiny bit of something slippery, I used silicone spray, making sure to get none on the outside or on my fingers. Warm it and the lever slightly with a hot air gun and push it on with 3 or 4 fingertips.
I was too impatient to read through the huge Rubber Lever End Thingies thread to find the best way to do it.
