Default Best quality clutch levers?

Did a bone-headed thing today - leaned the bike against the garage door (no kickstand) and went inside to get something cold to drink. Went to the garage, hit the button to open the door and watched my bike fall to the concrete.

Snapped the clutch lever on the left handlebar.

I've been looking for a replacement that is of better material quality than the cheap unit that comes with the engine kits.

I searched the forums for "clutch+lever" but get results for clutch adjustment and nothing that cited a source for a quality unit for the handlebar.

So...who sells the best unit that has the locking feature for clutch disengagement?

take your clutch lever mount to a dirt bike shop and see what they got that could work.. levers break all the time on dirt bikes, so they'll likely have what you need in stock, if it exists in the dirtbike world

Use a locking brake lever (bicycle). Or get a locking brake lever from an ATV.

I just use a brake lever and have a thick rubber band to hold it down.
