Have a bent.
Car rims are usually straightned
Can the same be done for a m/c
Is it financially wise
 
For what it's worth, I had an shop in Ft. Worth straighten a bent front rim on a BMW R1100RT back in the '90's. Looked great, but wobbled worse than the bent rim. I ended up ordering a new wheel as I couldn't find a good used wheel for the then-new oilheads.
 
It depends on the rim and the location of the bend. If you are in the DFW area there is also Dallas Wheel at 1203 East Abram Arlington, Tx. 972 606 1971 . Just make sure and take all your bearings out and stuff before you send it there. They'll straighten your wheel and if it needs color they can powdercoat it all for around 150 bucks. I think it was around 50 to 100 just to straighten.
