Steve - I've always had great experiences when working with Frame Straight Systems out of TN. They have taken care of warped rotors, a bent wheel and straightened my 99 SS frame after a bad accident. Easy to work with and the bike is likely in tighter tolerances than when it left the factory. Best of luck!

Peace of mind: Buy a new wheel— they’re inexpensive.
