I need some advice, I have been riding 1200GS's since 2006 and I have never buckled any of my wheels. Two weeks ago we did a dirt ride to Sutherland and I hit a donga that snuck up on me. My front wheel now has a slight buckle to it. Has anyone had this straightened and if so was it almost 100%? A well know repairer in Bellville was honest with me and said he will try but will never get is 100%. It will cost me around R650 for the try and I think it is worth it. My LC has just over 10 000km on it and don't want to put in an insurance claim if I have to. Any suggestions out there? Thanx in anticipation!
