2002 RT125 Clutch lever: Must use MZ OEM?

Greetings,
I *still* haven't gotten around to calling Phil at BSA-Regal to give him my credit card # for the clutch lever.
I was pretty amazed when I saw the recent brake light thread, when people sent in part numbers from Aprillia at al to replace the switches.
The Domino clutch lever is probably likewise a commodity part, used on any number of bikes. I have spent hours online trying to track it down. Unless someone has another source, I will probably call Phil Monday to order it, but it just seems silly. Who knows how many warehouses in the US have that exact part, with another brand's part number on it?
I wish there was a way to crack the secretive bike part supply chain, and order third-party commodity parts more directly. I know this is mere fantasy. I bet the parts suppliers and bike mfrs are in cahoots to keep us out of the loop, to protect parts sales revenues for the bike makers.
