This was my first dent job. I did it while it was primed and sanded, then had it shot with the paint. Not a DROP of BONDO. I watched the level X kyle woods video. They have a short part on denting your tank. I just took my time, started at the lid and worked my way out. Use your gas cap as a reference point on the angle of your dent. I used a BIG *** dead blow hammer. Like a 7 or 10 pound one? It was massive. But it makes it easier cause you don't have to beat and bang so hard. You can massage the dent out slowly. Its really pretty easy if you just take your time. Check it out...

 

Thats F'n Nice & Clean

Makes mine look like ****...

 

learned that the hard way hahaha

 

This could be a dumb question but how much does denting yur tank effect the amount of gas you can put in it. I got a 929, 5 gallon tank, if I dent it in can I still fill it the same?

 

hell no. will hold less gas, maybe alot less, depends how much you dent it in.

don't do what i did and fill ur tank completely full and drive a mile to ur buddy's house and decide to dent the tank in. gas will be ******* EVERYWHERE.

 

**** i just remembered my tank was full when i flipped! i was gonna dent it in yesterday but decided not too and ask you guys first! thank god i did.....

 

nice tank dents=get the ladies

 

+1

Heating it does absolutely NOTHING... i've dented many tanks and tried it a couple of times. You actually don't even need to take the cap off once you get good at it. Last 2 i did were w/ cap and didn't break it
This one was w/ heat... made the paint come off very easy.




Nice Johnny P upper stay.... and tank too :YEAH

 

can you befine deadblow??

and for the guy with the orange bike I cant believe how smooth it is with no bondo thats insane.

 

Yeah... that dent looks a lil too good to be true w/ no bondo... unless it's just the lighting. Could just be he had a shitload of paint sprayed on that area. I've seen the kyle woods instructional YEARS ago too... and i've done at least 25 tanks... never, never have i had one come out like that.


Deadblow is a rubber/plastic mallet filled w/ bird shot (bb's) or sand for a harder hit.

 

here's my best one...


and guess what... there's still a **** hair's worth of bondo smeared over the slight imperfections....

 

do you mean a rosie odonell cunthair or more like a jessica biel cunthair?

 

you need 2 work on your brake control first before you do anything cuz u arent ready for spreader or HC with handbrake so leave it alone fo now till u get em slow wheelie and stand up coasters.

 

i agree with ritchie! no need to bash your tank, just get good at stand ups and sitdowns, and then you bash it.

 

The top shot looks way sicker than the back shot. You can see there is ripple in it, looks damn nice still tho!. But yeah, no bondo at all. The deadblow I used had a head the size of a croquet mallet tho. You don't have as many lil indentions that cause more ripple. And that took me three days to do. I had it empty and off the bike. I'd work the dent a lil each day, and go back and forth on and off the bike test fitting it to my ***. Bye waiting till the next day I didn't go to crazy with the denting. I didn't wanna go overboard. The longer and more careful you are making it, the less you'll have to sweat how shitty a job you did later knowing ya coulda done better with a lil patience.

 

I'm down two pairs
