got a new doner bike any advise on crushing the tank without sending it to ala?

if you mean denting the tank? Use a ruber malet and start behind the gas cap and work your way around it till it starts to dent in... hop ontop of the gas tank (standing) and give a nice solid jump onto your heals right ontop of the gas lid... this should give you a nice indent.... work the rest out with the rubber mallet. Be careful to watch for creases. If you got a crease dont try beating it out to much cause you'll probably just put a hole there.

Golf ***** work awesome for making a nice smoothe lip around the outside edge of the dent.

This is how we did my buddies F2 tank.

If its for a 2000cbr600 f4, I'll trade you a dented tank for an undented tank

I dont get this golf ball thing...am I supposed to place the golf ball on the tank then hit it with the mallet?

+1 this seems to be the easiest way, and shouldn't do damage to the structure like what a piece of wood or regular hammer would do.

Yeah hit the golf ball with a regular hammer and it'll create a nice lip all the way around your dent if Squidmark sees this post maybe he'd be so kind as to post a pic of his dented tank... it looks awesome needless to say.

The golf ball also works well to dent in the small "rippley" areas
