Front wheel truing / balancing

I'm bringing my 09 FLHRC in on Tuesday to have the front wheel fixed hopefully to fix my front end shake.

Max lateral runout per the service manual is .040 I'm at .058, max radial runout is .030 I'm right at the max of .030 also there is 2 1/4 oz of lead weights on the wheel.

My question is how good should I expect them to get it ? I would think they should get it within .010-.015. I don't want then to get it inside the max and say it's good enough. Personally I think they should replace the wheel being out as far as it is. Also how much weight should it take to balance it ?

Thanks in advance

sounds like the lateral runout should be enough to replace the wheel. if you get a new wheel try a search for dyna beads to put in the tire instead of weights.
