Hey have a question!
I crashed my 1000rr and I bent the back rim kinda bad (see photo). I was wondering if you guys know if it fixable and if it will be just as strong as brand new. I have been searching for a replacment rim for awhile and I cant find anything cheap. Please let me know what you think or if you know of any places in California to get it fixed. I might be able to ship it somewhere too!

 

no it can't be fixed. I hit a pot hole and bent mine. The shops can't fix it because bending it back will cause it to crack .best bet try ebay.

 

i bent one last year and no u shouldnt bend it back it will weakin and is not at all safe .

here is a rim and its cheap or not bad anyway

 

OUCH!

 

thanks, i was thinking that is would be bad. I have been checking many sites and ebay as well.
What I am also wondering is.... i have a 06 1000rr will other years like 04-07 fits as well?
Where do I find the rim size? Not Tire size

 

there's a guy in OC who can fix it
but there's no telling on the intrinsic strength of the rim later on

if you're interested in a pair of 04-05 oem wheels, let me know

 

YES, you can get it fixed:

Email Gerry at the link above with some pics. He'll be able to tell you if its beyond repair. I've seen worse than that fixed by him.

 

thanks to all that have posted info & to those that will....
I still have a bit to wait until I can start to fix the bike. Since I am still recovering from a broken pelvis.

 

Yes, you can fix a bent rim. Lots of places charge serious $$$, just make sure you get specifics on how accurate they can get it. I've had a couple bent rims fixed by Will at Will's Rim Repair in SC. He comes highly recommended from WERA riders in the southeast. Here's his number864) 787-1351
