well, i dont recall off the top of my head how the plastic looks on the 06 rr, but the 06 r6 has it, and the plastic part is already preatty flat. I saw one kid on uponone, he flattened it out on the backside so it was wider and flush with the plastic, and seemed to work preatty good. I havnt done it yet to my r6, but if i do it this weekend ill send u a pic

Use a dead blow hammer to dent metal tank.(start from the center and work your way out with the dent.Get a heat gun to melt plastic to the dent,hit the search,there are a lot of threads about this and pics

This is how I did mine. Got the metal tank just the way I wanted it and then melted the plastic down. Not very hard to do, you just gotta say f**k it and do it..

Im Not Positive About How To Do It...But I've Seen People Do It Before,And What They Did Was Beat The **** Out Of It With A Rubber Mallet Until Its About As Flat As You Want It.Then You Sand It Down A Little Bit.Then Put Bondo In The Dent.Let It Dry And When Its Dry,Put Grip Tape Or Somthing On It.Good Luck

Re: i need help with denting tanks
haha how dumb...anyway all you gotta to do is take the plastic off then try to use mallet hammer to dent it very carefully , when u r done with it n use a heater on the plastic to make sure its soft enough to push down , put the plastic gas tank back on the gas tank then push it down.
