Re: Tank Denting
I did the same thing on my latest tank job... pinhole leak.

JB weld does the trick every time. You can see it just below the cap in the pics.

Check it out... my best dent yet... not even a chip on the paint :YEAH

Nothin like beatin in the tank of a brand spankin new bike

I'm talking abou the nipple on back of the tank..i dunno but I think it has a pinhole on the weld..how can I fix that??? anyone HELP please.
jus jb weld it, when i was denting my gsxr tank, it had a dent in the side, so it caused a crack, make sure u mix it very well before u apply it, and apply lightly then after the first coat dries after 24hours apply another bit to fully cover it

Re: Tank Denting

metal bends easier with heat

Go very slow... lots and lots of smal dents... and don't let the metal bend too much in any one place or you'll get creases and paint cracks.

Ya gotta whack the bottom of the cap in first... very hard hits to get it started... then take it real easy, and move outward from there.

I went for a very mild dent this time... and it came out f*ckin perfect.
