Im gona put my cage, spocket, 12bar, and cage on in the morning so I was thinking I might as well dent my tank in also. . .. but how? do you guys just beat it down evenly with a hammer or is there a certain technique.. . .once Im complete and find a abandoned parking lot im good to go. . .. .

 

here ya go..make sure to use a dead blow hammer..the rubber ones..and tanke yer time..if you dont feel comfy doing it..find someone who has done it before...

 

can you even wheelie squid?

i posted a thread on here about denting friends tanks juts a couple days ago..find it...then follow the same way....get that cap in with ur heel of foot to start the cap, then use plastic sand mallet...about 2-5lb size and beat down..start by cap and work way out..

 

no. . im just gona jump right in. . .I might be a natural

 

good luck on that!!

 

have fun w/ that!!! especially since your on a 1000... u might need to go +20 so you can do slow stuff

jus do me a favor.... PLEAAAASE get it on camera!!!


on a serious note though... those old gixxers are EASY to dent the tank... and it sounds dumb but works GREAT... if you have one. take a small dead blow mallet and gently dent the outline for the tank... not much just enough so that its a nice smooth line all the way around where you want... have someone hold the bike up strait and make a good solid jump landing on the gascap... then go back and work the rest out smoothly w/ the mattet... dont beat the **** out of it just let the weight of the mallet do all the work

 

hay havok what kind of paint did u get , isnt that rhino line ...i tried that and it didnt came out look like that.

how did u make it look good ?

 

Might be? Wow, bro, love you attitude but it's not as easy as it looks. You learn by doing, so go do, but don't think you're just automatically going to get it. And I agree with Mike, get it all on video, please

 

I always start from the gas cap and work my way out with a dead blow, but I also use a phone book in the beginning to get the tank to indent right in the middle.

 

elaborate this please?

i think i'ma go home and dent my **** tonight. can't ride since it's freezing ***** out and i'm a wimp.

 

phone book all day

it does the same effect of jummping on it cept its more centered and distributes the innitial dent better
