Bent front rim on 06 R6

i was ridding my bike on friday over the grand island bridge , stop and paid the toll leavein the tollbooth i stand it up im ridding it out all of a sudden this like 90 year old lady trys to merge into me i set my bike down on the seem where the concrete meets the pavment and i heard this thud i pull over get off the bike and sure enough my front rim is bent.... they want 400 dollars for a new one anyone know where i can get one cheaper
i also put the powers cage on it, does the added weight of the cage have anything to do with me bending my rim

your bike was on its side when you bent the rim?

just use a 03-05 rim... just put ya brake discs on em.

put pics up of the bend on the rim, you can prolly get it fixed cheaper than buyin one.

i also wanna see the cage, so slide pics in of that too..
