Crash damage NDC
Good day, folks. Long story short-my son had a relatively minor crash on his 2004 CBR600RR, and although he’s thankfully ok physically, many of us know what even a low speed get-off can mean in terms of both bodywork and/or mechanical damage. The biggest issue right now is resolving a mildly bent front wheel. Based on many years of experience for both myself and a few trusted friends, we feel that the wheel is probably fixable by a person specializing in making that kind of repair, although I’ve never had a wheel from either my street or race bikes repaired personally. Does anyone have any track record in doing so? Was the repair experience good? Bad? James (son) wonders if the metal will be fatigued or weakened by whatever process is used to unbend the damage. Looking for any input on this subject to help decide whether we go for the repair as opposed to a $700 list price for a new factory wheel. On a related note, might anyone know of a reliable rim for sale? We can use a front wheel from model years ’03-’06. Thanks in advance for any help.

While I'm usually all for repairing things rather than just replacing them,
there seem to be a lot of CBRs being broken for parts such that it is
likely cheaper and faster to just buy a different wheel.
Granted many of the bikes being parted are likely in the same condition as
your son's is now, but Craig's List (in my neighborhood at least) is dirty
with spare bits on offer.

Frame Straightening Systems did my mangled monster wheel. As I recall,
about $135 at the time (10 yrs ago).
It was an undetectable repair when finished.

I'm with the "buy another wheel" folks. After all, how much do you spend on
tires, when you could just put Cheng Shin on your wheels? Or, what about
retreads? So, a $700 wheel costs about the same as 2 sets of high
performance tires.
How much is your life, or your son's life, worth?

As always, a wealth of knowledge and opinions from the gang. Thank you one and all. Being on a different financial plane than James, my auto choice would always be to buy another wheel, whereas he’s weighing all options. My years of racing have molded me into someone who doesn’t want either the physical uncertainties or the mental baggage that can come with questionable conditions about either wheels or tires. No patches for punctures, no compromised wheels, etc. James is working with tighter dollars, so the repair is an option he’s been considering. Kevin, your words ring strongly enough to keep my perspectives and standards regarding both physical safety and also peace of mind in place, cementing my decision to move with the wheel purchase instead of the repair. Rich, your comment on “too important to take a chance” also strikes the same chord. If the wheel was so unique that buying a replacement would be a problem, then a repair may be more heavily considered, but in this case, your opinion plus that of others has me committed to the replacement route. Whether serious of sarcastic, factual or fodder, there’s never a lack of willing participants to engage in fun banter from this great group of folks. I wish everyone a safe and happy 4th, and I’m thankful as always to be part of this community of folks sharing many common passions.
