Hello everyone,
yesterday in a fall off-road I bent the front brake lever: clear that it can be straightened, already done other times, but while I'm at it I would like to change it with a shorter one, so that it is more difficult for it to bend. Do you know where you can find some such lever that is compatible with the bike? Thanks

What model & year?

Might try contacting J.Juan to locate a distributor

He has a 2018 FX. I doubt anyone makes after market levers. A folding lever would be better than going shorter, less likely to snap and you don't give up any mechanical advantage, however you'll probably have to replace the entire master cylinder. You could also just get handguards.

I once broke a clutch lever and found that I ended up with a 2" shorter lever that still had enough leverage to operate the clutch. It just didn't have the little ball on the end.   ;)

Try AF1racing : they can be quite cheap for OEM parts.

Nothing available in the aftermarket. The stock levers are overpriced compared to other makes. I put a Suzuki DRZ SM master cylinder on mine so I can run any one of the dozens of available levers. Currently running a Zeta folding shorty and a Works Connection clamp. I’ll post a picture later.

Have you considered getting the handguards?
