deadblow big *** rubber mallet, then finish it off with a small ball peen hammer to fine tune the dent. stay away from having to use bondo and such, get some truck bedliner spray, 8 bucks a can and use that to fill it in ( use light coats and let set overnight, 2 or 3 coats and in couple days your set ). sure it can't be much different from my 03 636 tank and it came out real nice. i'm doing my buddies 06 636 tank in the next week or so

 

heres mine after beating on it at 2am drunk as ****

 

i just put about 5 mins into this, its about good for me, i usually stick with a milder dent and put in some stomp grip and works perfect for my style. if u want it further than that then just keep hammering it down and back further. i put tshirt over where im about to hit it so it doesnt mark up the paint although you cant really avoid the cracking of the paint where the lip bends.

 

yes

 

Im surprised nobody said this, but I think a ball-pen hammer works alot better than a mallet cause you can make much more precise hits,but you dont have to hit it softer and alot more times.

 

heres a mild one i did for a friend..

 

i use a big mallet to start with to get the dent roughly how i want it and then use a small ball peen hammer to smooth out the waves and unevenness.

 

I've got an extra 05-06 tank already dented.

 

all you need is a dead blow hammer... start at the rearward base of the gas cap, work back and forth and you can adjust how far forward/rearward the dent is also... take your time, smal hits on the edges of the dent...

once you have the dent where and how deep you want it, bondo and sand, then paint...

mint, perfectly placed dent if you take your time...

 

get me a pic of it and let me know what you want for it and i might be able to get rid of it for ya. 2 of my buddies just got 06's one is a full stunt beater and i'm helping him do that one, the other is clean and he may want a spare to swap when he does wanna mess around

 

how did you flip your clip ons and them not hit your fairing??? im having that problem right now without flipping them...what can i do so this doesn't happen??? and your tank looks good!

 

What about fiberglass...bondo cracks and flakes easy when it takes a hard hit..

 

umm my turn signal box just barely skims the edge of my front fairing but not bad. im about to trim the upper down about 2 inches or so to make pull throughs easier cuz my foot gets stuck on the windscreen so after that they wont touch at all.

 

could you post a better pic of your clip ons so i can see. mine hit really bad..

 

everytime ive dented a tank i use 2 rubber deadblows (bought both of mine from walmart for under 5$). Set one upright, and then nail the back of it with the other hammer. Seems to produce a better effect than using just one and hitting the tank directly. Then if u need to shape it better, turn the bottom deadblow on its side, and hit it again, for a wide compression area. Seems to work good for me.

 

idk what u really wanna see, i just flipped em and pushed em out as far as i could without hittin the upper too much. what is hitting on yours?

 

If i flipped my clip ons it would sit higher and my clutch would smash into my upper.

 

roll your clutch down.

 

it wouldnt be near as comfy but i guess i can try it. thre is a little bondo on the tank from when the guy laid it over i guess....im fixing to dent the tank and see what happends ha

 

it worked good my tank damn near looks like yours!
