Motobeagle Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Don't ask, bad night. I ended up with a 3 inch dent in my tank. I was about to have the bike repainted, and now I'm just curious to how much more it's going to run me. Can this be fixed easily? No punctures, and it fell on a plastic tool box, so there's no paint damage. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOXXIC Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Buddy of mine used an automotive, "Paintless Dent remover" guy. Also called dent wizard. Try calling a used car lot and ask them who does their ding repairs. Not sure air will work as I'm very certain the tank is double walled. Can't remember what year your bike is, but I have a second tank for a carbie bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCBIRD Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 The tanks are single walled, but are pretty tough. It is possible to do paintless dent repair on them, but it will depend on where the dent is located. I repainted my bike last year and had to fix a dent in the tank also. I pulled the fuel pump out for access so they could get in with the tools, but the PDR guy said he had a hell of a time working the dent. The dent 1" x 2", but it was in a harder spot to reach.

Northman Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Jerry, any chance of using a suction cup (or Dave's lips :blowjob:) to pull the dent out? Why don't you post pics? :???: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie_xx Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Ok, here is a Polish way, that a friend of mine used on his Katana 1100. The tank had a dent on the top. He bought I think 2LBS of green peas - dry ! He filled up the tank with them and then poured water.... Not sure how long he left it like that, but the peas swelled and pushed the dent out. He had lot of cleaning to do, though.... :twisted: Cheers, P.S. As was said before I'd try the dent busters.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
