I'm sure this will be a flame-fest... but I'm wondering the same thing so hopefully there will be at least one useful post.

 

denting is not as easy as it looks dont get crazy with it cause u can go to far and not b able to put gas in it!! just go a lil then sit on it and see if its comfy go in the search there is alot of pics on this. O and dont use grip tape cause in a month ull spend as much on pants as u would on a new tank . i bondod my tank and then used spray on bed liner and then painted over that with the color that i wanted the tank and it works great and no holes in the pants

 

O and dont use a regular hammer use a round rubber mallet

 

use a hammer, hit hard

 

o boy hear we go

 

shouldn't you use a rubber hammer?

why dont u like the rubber hammer ? the one i use is like a hockey puck real hard but it dosent leave big creases like a regular hammer

 

i want to do this but don't want to fubar my minty blue tank, it's the only piece i've got that still looks nice.

 

I used some body work tools that were laying around....I also put a blanket over the tank...

I pounded it in...then sanded by hand...then used black primer...then black spray on liner...

Mine is too deep too...I can still put gas in it but its just too deep and definatly over kill....but at least I've never sliped out of it...

 

nooooooooo dont use a nice tank get a ebay special sell that **** $$$$

 

hay stuntman r u tall ? i noticed on my budys 929 he dented it in way to far and it puts me up to far in the front of the bike.i always feel like im gona flip over the bars. but he is real short and loves it

 

who are you talking to? I gotta have my bike matching so I may get an ebay tank for now but eventually I will dent the blue one.

 

+1...I took my nice tank off and got one on ebay for like $80 that had a little dent on the side....

 

not tall not short....i'm 6'0" 165....average build....mine is in the prefect position front to back...I just feel like I didnt need to get near as deep just to keep my skinny *** in the dent...but it's not bad for a first dent...

 

Im talkin to u! i suck with the quotes sorry but if u want to dent the minty tank go for it u can always fix any scrue ups with the bondo . but the mint tanks are worth bling

 

i used my foot to start ... mallet for details ... bondo for smooth .... paint.

mmhmmm..

 

lemme check ebay cuz i'll sure as hell come off this one and paint the new for the right price haha.

 

dont use a rubber mallet... use a dead blow and stat it the cap and work your way out
