I didn't purchase it on my previous two Ducs ('13 Monster 796 & '15 Hyperstrada). A buddy of mine dinged up the front wheel on his '12 Multi a couple of years ago (no wheel warranty), sent it north to a guy in the Bay Area who repairs those kinds of things, and when he got it back a week or so later it looked brand new. It was right at $200 or slightly less. I don't know that the wheel warranty is worth it, actually, but I suppose a lot depends on how often you ride and the type of riding you do.
