My 748R's front Marchi picked up a "ding" in its recent accident.

Pic below.

It looks fairly minor to me, but I've never had to have this sort of repair done before.

Any advice on likelihood of the wheel being repairable and roughly how much will I pay for the work?

Any recommendations (London/Essex area preferred please) for this type of job?

Perfect - thanks

Seems a good excuse for that nice set of BST carbons!

Bit of a coincidence, I removed the discs and tyre from my damaged S2R front wheel this morning so that I can get it sent off to Hagon for repair. I talked to them at the NEC show and thought it a good deal at £73.50 especially as it would only cost postage if it can't be repaired.
Your wheel looks no worse and mine and is similar to the before pic of the damaged wheel in their catalogue, the after pic looks mint so i'm hoping mine will come back looking as it should pre accident.
They prefer you to remove the discs and tyre othewise they will charge you for doing so.

I rang motoliner about a similar ding in my 848 wheel. i think it was
£50 to have the wheel repaired. The guy i spoke to was spot on and assured me it would be perfectly straight! I sent it on a Tuesday and got it back on the thursday!! Amazing service would very highly reccomend them.
