Anybody got any goods tips for denting in a 900RR tank? I don't want this tank to leak my 750 did after we dented it in. Should I start around the gas cap and work my way out, dent from the outside and work my way to the center, or just bang the **** out of it and don't think about it? What method worked best for you?

 

It leaked cause your fat.....what makes you think the 900 will be any different.

 

i held up my bike, while my buddy (6'5" 280lbs) stood on the tank, a little bounce and it dented right in, smooth it out with a soft blow hammer

 

Thanks....gifted at birth I guess!

 

When I dented my 900 tank I started with a soft mallet from the outside and worked my way in. no leaks.

 

Crossed up endos. Will dent in perfectly!!! Just used a rubber mallet to finish it off and make it smooth, do about a dozen crossed up endos and it will mash in great.

 

No time to do that...got to do it in the morning with a rubber mallet and then taking the plastics & tank to get painted.

 

Jump on it with your feet.

 

Stand up on the gas tank then drop down onto the tank. That should give the same effect of crossed up endos.

 

best way i've saw on those and what i'm doing to mine when i get it:

hit it with a rubber mallat at the front of the gas cap to slightly tilt the gas cap forward. then, once it's started just do highchair stoppies to dent it for your ***.

that way will angle the gas cap so there won't be a lip to stab you in the ***.

 

call me in the late morn i will help you out over the phone

 

Jimmy take a 10 pound freeweight and place it centered over your cap and bash that with a mallet.... that way it keeps the whole cap flat as it goes in then you can work around it too. I havent had a leak problem when I did mine like that. Hope this helps :YEAH
