new front wheel is 330 dollars from Buell, probably the worlds greatest bargain on a new OEM street bike wheel. call DAVE Steuve. 866-757-1651 he can fix U up. | ||

There are people that might be able to repair your wheel. Depends on how badly the wheel is damaged. I don't have their contact info at hand though. Maybe a quick google search for "Motorcycle aluminum wheel repair bent straighten" ? Here's some of the results I got... http://www.framestraightsystem.com http://www.metrowheels.net/wheelrepairprocess.htm http://www.rimpro.com | ||

Just a point of comment, I contacted "Stockton Wheel" whom I have dealt with in the past, I asked them if they could repair a Buell front wheel from an XB and they 'suggested' that the design of the wheel may prove to make them non-reparable safely, as in if you bent the lip enough to not hold air anymore, it may have weakened the spokes. I have a spare front wheel from my parts bike I was thinking of trying to repair. | ||
