With all due respects to you and your friend, it does not make sense to pay for bent wheels. There are places that will fix them, but it might be more cost effective to buy two good used wheels from a salvage yard. I had to do that several years ago for my 1983 900T. A block of wood on the Beltway bent a wheel. I got a used one for $125. The dealer wanted $250 for a new wheel. Now I see so many of them it is rediculous.
