I damaged the front rim on the R1100RT, I need to identify a suitable company to Roll the dent out.
Can anyone offer name of suitable repairer in Victoria?

If you're going to keep using it like a GS maybe you should be looking for one

GS have alloy rims as well, so would be no better off. Would need to go all the way to a GSA.

And the rims that are laced to the hub are also alloy - I am in the process of having the HP2 rim straightened.

Thanks guys
We did try a few places, but they would only repair car rims - I will checkout the locations Noel suggested:)
It may be cheaper to source a second hand rim - does any one have a rim to suit a 98 R1100RT?
