The rim that I have on mine is actually bent in compaired to yours and it works okay. If I slow down at a high speed (50mph+) and let go, I get a tank slapper every time. It's nothing that will explode in your face, but it is going to be noticable. I would just ride it as it is until you find a good replacement. Be careful on ebay becuse most people there are just selling the same time that you have unless it goes for over $250. Be sure that the sell conferms that the rim is true and within at least a +-.01 tollerance. there was an F3 rim for sale here not too long ago that was well worth the $75 that he was askin. I'd snatched it up if I wasn't so damn broke!

 

you can have that fixed . thats not bad i had about 3 of those on my front rim n i rode my bike like that for about a year before i took it to a rim shop n they fixed it . there is a guy named will in sc who fixes rims i will try to get his site you can send it to him he will fix n ship back rims are pricey have it fixed .
