My mates off to the IOM tomorrow for a few days on the bike, I'll give him a text though to see if he's the details handy, but it may have to wait until he gets back.

Hi all, decided to send the wheel to www.motoliner.com
after the response on here, I'll let you know what I think when it comes back......

They may have to damage the paintwork to straighten it out. I handed them a jet black wheel that started life as blue:
"We weren't sure what colour to touch it up with..."
"It's cool, I paid you to straighten it, not clean it"

Got the wheel back yesterday (Monday 8th) only sent it last Wednesday, must say what a great job they've done and they've sprayed the damaged bit back Silver again........ job well done £65.00 including the carriage back to me......

Looks like a job well done! Feeling a lot happier about the doing the same thing with my rear wheel. Did you have to strip the wheel down, or just take off the tyre?

Removed tyre, & both discs (as requested) ..........

Well, I've just got my wheel back and it looks really good! Just need to fit the tyre and give it a couple days to make sure it holds air. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction mate!

Glad you're happy with the repair, I only passed-on what others here on the org had advised me when I was in the same position......

All the best mate

Nice looking job that.
