Wheel repairs

Anyone had a buckled alloy repaired?
What was the end result like?
How much?
And who did it?

ZX6R it ain't pretty

 

if you've really actually buckled it, I wouldn't have thought a repair
would be particularly safe. Can't you just buy one on eBay like
everyone else?

 

Its a red one for ZX6R J1 and I cant find anyone who has one?

 

AFAIK Hagon (yes, the shock absorber folks) offer that service and they
can tell you if the wheel's repairable or not.

 

do they offer any sort of guarantee on the repaired wheel? The reason
I asked is that, presumably if they tell you it's unrepairable they
don't get paid, so there'd be a /slight/ pressure on them to call
borderline cases as repairable, IYSWIM.

 

ISWYM and I don't know if they do offer a guarantee or not - I've only
ever used them for spoked wheel repairs.

 

These guys http://www.bossmotorcycles.co.uk did mine in 1984
and I believe it's still on the road.

 

I'm sorry, I need to get this out of my head.

I've had a ZZR1100 wheel and a few discs straightened by Hagons and
they've been perfect every time.

Champ says...

You couldn't tell my first ZZR1100's front wheel had been repaired. The
paint hadn't been damaged when it happened, and it was still undamaged
when they sent it back to me. The flat on the rim was pushed about 5mm
out each side.

Hagon wouldn't offer a repair service if they weren't confident they'll
be safe.

If it's the same as a Thundercat wheel, I've got one sitting here, but it's
black.

Ludicrous. If they're not repairable, why would they leave themselves open
to either a reputation destroyer or even litigation by repairing them. For a
50 quid job? Well obviously.
