What's the best way to dent the tank for seated stunts - jumping on the tank vs hammering or cutting out and welding?

 

I used a 2lb dead blow hammer, started around the fill cap and worked my way out and mine works well.

 

Search the site man......Skill an use a 45LBS 4ft sledge hammer......rest is all prayer. Try it it works

 

that's funny, I did the first tank I ever dented like that. I sledge hammer and a 2x4 on the fillcap and bang. a gallon of bondo later and it looked smooth I found that small taps from the center out is MUCH more effective. jumping on it worked good once too but I ended up getting kinks in the metal that wouldn't come out and had to be blended with fiberglass bondo. if you cut and weld and get a relocated cat cap you let me know I want one bill d style that **** is pimp!

here are a few I have done. none are any good but they worked

 

use a big hammer for the first 3 to 5 hits with a phone book on the tank. also start in the middle. i like to start on the gas filler. make sure u tap out any creases as they start so they dont get worse. try to keep it even all the way around. after u are done with the phone book, use a large rubber mallet and just take ur time if u want it to look good

 

Get a fat chick to cannonball onto the tank

Deff not having you dent my tank if i come down for a session

 

have ur buddy balance the bike up from the back climb up a ladder a few rungs, aim and *** drop. no hammer marks and its customed formed to ur own ***....... tailbone might hurt a little tho

 

whats the duct tape with the writing for

 

hey mna,,, let me know if you really want to come down and when,
and actually it was my 3rd day riding a streetbike, i came down from a seatstander and not used to how wide the tank was, my knees came down and made 2 egg shaped dents in the tank, (hince the line down the middle) so I just took the mallet to it and worked them out, with grip tape its holds well, but im getting a new one and doing a 'top' dent, since the knees made the dent I was kinda stuck....and no, I would not like that responsibility, I know a shop down here that can do a good one for you though.

 

tricks im working on

 

do a bunch of hc endos. as soon as you land a good one, it'll be dented

 

ahh, the dents for tricks? i use mine to carry 12 packs of bud light to the lot. then we pretty much just sit there and talk about how cool it is to stunt ride

 

i dented my deep but i still had to put griptape in it because my baby kept sliding out going around turns.

 

lol......

 

someone should make like a press, you could send in your tanka dn one hit and boom! you havea perfect tank dent

 

Haha them pics are crazy, hey at least you can see exactly where your butt is supost to be. Lol i used a dead blow hammer, then worked the small creases out with a metal hammer. Works for me, haha not the best but did not coast me a dam thing. And i could bondo it be **** it, it is just going to get beat up anyways. Lol
