ere kwak if it was me that had that bike i'd be taking all the bits to motoliners and getting them to have a look. I'd lay money on the fact at least one of them fork legs will straighten and the yokes are probably okay. Also if they are okay then motolinerrs dont charge you

Wen you've got the new spindle spin the whhel and look carefully, any distortion should be fairly obvious. Places like Maidstone motoliner will straighten wheels if possible:

Our good friend Spanner Man located a second hand wheel for Saint Matt when he managed to put a lovely big dent in his by hitting the kerb at 40 mph - you might want to give him a try. See 'recommended by' section in MIGTs area.

Cheers and good luck
