Thanks Keach, it's not worth it compared to my deductible. I found a place that trues frames for the Yamaha race team out here in huntington that can take care of my wheels for $120 a piece.
If you don't mind a small hit in MPG's get a -1 tooth front sprocket. It makes the bike a rocketship from 6K RPM's instead of having to wait til 8K.

I also...
Hello had a bit of a run in with a 4x4 on the freeway.
If anyone has some wheels or alternative wheels that will fit I'm interested, and located in Southern California.
Cheers.
Yeah, anything over 7k numbs the shit out of my hands. Especially the right grip, I would recommend putting bar ends in there or getting the CRG bar end that the mirrors can mount to. I have those on my superduke (v twin) and get zero vibration.
The grippy material is really soft, we'll see how it hols up to a Southern California summer. Other than that they're way better than stock not fitment problems or anything. It's not a solid piece of aluminium like I though, there are just two rings that you slide over the rubber grip to make...
Well here she is:
Driven CR Low bars - So, so, sooo much better for canyon and everyday riding it's ridiculous. If you make one change to your bike make it this one. Before I would always feel so cramped when leaned over mid turn, now I can move into position and drop my elbow much easier...
My old FZ8 was silent but another one we have has the mechanical grinding or gurgling noise. Sounds like it's about to grenade but still runs fine after 6k miles. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
