I have got a big old dent in my 2011 front wheel rim, anybody know of where to get a new/second hand one at a reasonable price!!
 
Is it an alloy wheel or spoked? How bad is the damage and have you thought about getting it repaired?
 
Google: motorcycle wheel rebuild

Lots of bods offering the service.

Ring round, get some quotes.

Still unsure? Post a thread in the pub section of UKGSer asking if anyone has used the services of company XYZ? Lots of bods ride bikes other than 1200GS - and wheel repairs are not uncommon in the rufty-tufty world of adventure motorbiking. Who knows, they may just know? If nobody replies, then you will just have to chance to luck.

A new wheel.... I guess your local friendly dealer will have one in your hands, probably within 24 to 48 hours. The price? You'll know when you have called them.
 
Hi Bob, its spoked, hard to say how bad it is. Its not a dent it more out of true if that makes any sense.

Try this guy: Den Ivanov on 07527791716. He's in Stratford on Avon and has just done a brilliant job re-building my spoked wheels:thumb Great job at a sensible price.

He doesn't supply spokes but you can buy them from the Devon Rim company who are way to expensive for a wheel build:eek:
