Default Front rim bent!

Well i went over a speed bump today at a slow speed but not slow enough and bent my front wheel on my 2002 f4i and its only holding air for a little while now!!. I was wandering if the cbr 600rr wheel is the same rim. can i just get one of those to replace mine?? I have found a few of rims on ebay butnot a bunch.

If anyone knows where i can pick one up for a good price or anyone who has one let me know!!

How fast were you going? I'm surprised a speed bump can bend a rim.....

I was going as slow as i could so i wouldnt fall. The speed bumps were brand new and huge...funny thing is they came and fixed them today after all the complaints. I bottomed out as well, and you could see all the scrapes from other cars!!

Im in Naples FL......34110 .............let me know how much man!! Thanks

Glad you find it funny *******!!Now i cant ride because of some stupid *** speed bump. You can bend the lip of the rim the same way on a pot hole. Just the lip is bent not the whole rim. But the bead will not hold!

try to find a motorcycle graveyard. that's where i'd start.

when i bent the rim on my car, i got a new one at a graveyard for $25 and it lasted me about 100,000 miles before i sold the car. i had to go on a road trip to get it... but it was well worth it.

every major town should have a graveyard somewhere... start calling around.
