HOW D HELL DO U DO IT THE RITE WAY ? I LOVE THIS BIKE BUT IT HAS THE STUPIDEST GAS TANK EVER ?
HELP ANYBODY , PLEASE ?!

thanx

 

Doesn't it have a plastic cover? If so, you ain't gonna be able to dent it

 

Yeah. Actually, I read somwhere that u have to heat up that plastic cover and mold it......

 

AND dent the tank under it...

 

I saw a rr with a tank cover that was molded, it just attached to the tank and it was flat. It was a silver 600rr, like a 03 or 04, I think the guy rode with the Local Boys outta STL. Anyway, I don't know where he got it, but he seemed to like it.

 

i just got of the phone with crazy martin what u do is take of the plastic then dent the actuall tank in and then u take a torch and heat up the plastic from underneath and poot it back on and dent it lil by lil by hand and then heat it up again then back and forth like that till it takes the shape from the gas tank underneath it.

if anybody has a better ideal let me know before i do this , i wont have my bike back from the shop for another 5-6 days anyways. thanx guys !

 

dont use a torch, use heat guns and have someone help you. the plastic will want to cool very quickly, heat the underside with heat gun/s quickly put it back in to place and press it down with something liek a rubber mallet or something, wear gloves so u dont burn yourself.

 

send klos an pm, he did it to my buddy rickys 600rr and it turned out pretty well i think...ill see if i can find a picture of it

 

Damn I'm glad it wasn't that compliacated with my F4i

 

i did this one by myself...what i did was....mines off an 04 but i believe its the same thing

dent the metal tank under the plastic and then heat the plastic with a heat gun....put it on as it would sit and then stand on it (you gotta do that quick, as its still hot as ****) and then as i was standing on it heat around your shoes and adjust your feet with the way you wanna sit on it...its a pain in the *** and it takes a while but i love the way mine feels

check this out. lots of pics. Hope it helps

 

Iv done one its pretty easy you just have to make sure you dont get the plastic so hot its melts just hot enough to get it moldable......

 

thanx a lot guys ! got it ! ill post pics when i do it in about 7 days when i get d bike back from the shop

 

good luck man

 

my friend dented his tank, cut a hole in the tank cover to match the dent. then fiber-glassed the back cover to get a better lip and then surfboard gripped it. kinda shitty but you get the idea.

 

I don't have the rr so I don't know, but do you have to have the plastic cover on the bike?

 

The Plastic cover covers the tank and the air box and there are wires that go to the air box so it probably would be a good idea to ride it like that. It will still run but you will see the wires and it will look like ****.

 

Uki... Hows it going? Just picked myself up a 600rr. Posted the same topic yesterday. You have any luck gimmie a call.

 

i have a new tank and lock set....sorry no plastic cover
all mint and off an 06 $60 shipped for the tank and $80 shipped for the lockset.. i also have a full brand new set of race fairings that havent been mounted..$250+shipping and a motor w/1,200 and woodcraft case covers also new

 

I see, well, like I said, I don't have a rr, so I was just wondering
