Question Should you dent your gastank in?

Does it make a HUGE difference when you dent your gas tank in? I haven't done it yet because I've been able to pull the tank wheelie without havin to put that nice pretty dent in my gas tank, but if it makes a huge difference, you gotta do what you gotta do. If so what's the best way to do it without making the bike look like **** on stick.
Thanks

Buy an already dented one, their cheap and plentiful. If you don't like it put yours back on.

hit it with a rubber hammer and be done with it. it makes a huge difference for
tank tricks ie wheelies burnouts crossed up burnouts. but i would buy a wrecked tank to beat up on. i didnt and now i wish i had. if you like the dented tank then you can sell the nice on

i tried doing highchairs with my tank normal, and then beat it in after a day or two and it makes a huge difference, keeps you from sliding off and all over the place, i started doing it with a rubber mallet but ended up just stomping it in with my feet came out pretty good and then i just put surfboard grip on it for a little bit of cushion, good luck
