Yep rim on order, 1.6\21. Adv bunch recommends going to Woody's Wheel works and get it fixed but that runs about $100 plus shipping. My local independent shop (great guys at Moto-Authority) got me an OEM rim for $150. The bent one shows stress bending that can't be seen in the pics so I decided for the extra $50 I would just get a new one--of course I've got to lace it but I kind of enjoy that stuff. Funny thing is that I had just trued that rim on the last tire change--about 300 miles prior
