Front Wheel
Quick update from "Down Under" and a quick question for my knowledgeable UK folk.
Decided to get back into dirt bikes so had to decide whether to sell the ST2 or 996 to fund this change. Decided to go with the heart rather than the mind and sold the ST. My brother decided to buy it (so I could always use it if necessary :-)) and then proceeded to crash it 2 weeks later. He ran off the road to avoid an on coming car (his fault) and down into a gully. After getting a 4WD to retrieve it and tow it home, first inspections identified damage was limited to a crushed pipe (going over a log during the decent), cracked top fairing and missing two mirrors (lost to trees!). However on closer inspection it also appears the front wheel has been buckled. It is out by about 6mm over about a 1/4 of the circumference.
Questions are:
- any idea on whether this is repairable, and
- will wheels from other models (standard brembo 3 spoker) fit the ST?
Any input welcome (no mentioning the Ashes though OK!!!).
Cheers and I hope things aren't getting too cold over there.
