No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI don't think you'll ever get it looking like new, but some things might help to fade the discoloration, try each one by one:

Bleach
Rubbing alcohol
White vinegar
Baking soda paste
Dissolved dishwasher tablets

In each case, soak and check, and then thoroughly rinse. Some might damage the plastic, so having a backup plan could be useful. If you want to stay close to original, new ones are being remanufactured:  Not cheap, but you also get a new master cylinder & seals.

Or just go for an all aluminium one from a similar bike, repaint it black.

SalonCare 40 has been suggested here on KZR. I've never tried it.
From an internet search, the product is used for lightening hair & as a bleach booster for hair.

That stuff might work as well - it's hydrogen peroxide, here's the MSDS:  phoenixproductsco.com/wp-content/uploads...-Creme-Developer.pdf
Interesting from reading the user comments that it gets used for whitening deer skulls, whitening old computer cases. God forbid you'd get the stuff on yourself. Oh, wait, that's what it's for :)
