    I've used the Frame Man for forks before. Great work. There is a shop local to me that straightens wheels. Try calling a local frame shop and I bet they can do it.

    I have a bent rear rim, still holds air fine but I am worried about hitting something else and having it blow out because of it. I tried calling several local places and they all said they stay away from motorcycle rims because they are more mangensium than alloy. I guess I can take it off and ship it somewhere to be fixed, but I would rather avoid that expense. Does anyone know what the rims are made of and/or know of anywhere in Central NJ?
