Re: Answer is...NO!
Well it didn't really work out too well. I went to town on the RH side and I can tell now that I was hittin in some really wrong spots.
The side that was already smashed wasn't moving at all it seemed, so I just tryed pulling out the crease at the rear. Well between turning the concave into convex at the rear, I managed to cause a tear at the crease that formed. I siphoned what fuel was left and just started smashin to see what I could make the RH side look like. The crease that tore became smooth after a while but the gas-cap area was not movin down because of the prior smash holding it in place. So, now I know...it won't work LOL.
Here's a pic of the damage after I started...notice the tail area by the seat that I should not have been hitting...DOH! Well at least it was junk when I started.

wow
makes me feel good about my dent!
Heres mine after some rhino lining type ****
I'm definitely gonna be bondoing my tank this spring when I paint my bike again.. I can't decide if I should just bondo the dent, or beat the dent deeper then bondo it..
I already have 2 cracks, so I kinda wanna steer clear of adding more lol
edit: my original dent before I painted the top lol

Re: Think this F4i tank will dent OK?
just an fyi.... i'll give you this tank and ship it for free if you can find a brand new 2005 tank ANYWHERE for $170 ... or ANY mint f4i tank for that matter. Your lookin at $225 minimum for a dent free piece.
THEN try (and be carefull!) to dent it without ANY paint chips, perfectly, as i did.
$200 shipped is a ******* STEAL for this tank.... that is why it's goin on ebay... cause everybody on here is broke as hell, cheap ****'s.
If it dosn't sell i'll just hang it on the wall for a spare.... i'd really rather not give my hard earned money away for no reason.
