i need to know what are the best tools to use when denting a tank...that make it the smoothest...im going to be denting a 636 tank...05 model..anyone with a photo would be awsome...

 

im doing my 3rd 05/06 tank tnight. they go in real easy, i like to start it with my feet, using my heel standing up on the bike facing the tail and stomp it with my heel in back of the cap itll its sunk down a little. then use a deadblow hammer. hopefully u find one thats rubber and not the hard plastic and just spread the dent down and back. just make sure to start the dent behind the cap and move back from there. its real easy.

 

i did mine with my elbow- throwin bows

 

+1 deadblow hammer

 

i used my head....it was hard enough

 

alright...can anyone get me any pics? maybe like some pics in the middle of denting...then like the finished product?

 

ill show you tomrrow, its a little too cold in my garage right now.

 

Make sure the fuel is low or gone.
Start the dent with the heel of your sneakers
fine tune it with a deadblow
use some fiberglass bondo, sand and paint.

 

ok cool

 

i've dented tanks before..but i wasnt sure on how to make it perfect...if there were certain tools that would work better than others...

 

Stay away from hitting the top of the cap and letting the front dip down. You will have an ugly gap between the plastic cover and the tank.

 

use your white chocolate mandingle warrior

 

so start right behind the cap away from the gap?

 

Yes, That is where I started. The tank is super soft so will not have to beat it to death. I just hate when I see them sag at the front against the plastic cover.

 

check out Mannys dent, **** is

 

you got a picture mayn?

 

im sure that works badass...but i don't like the looks of it..

 

is the back lip built up with bondo?

 

yah thats a lot only type of ****, prob only holds about a gallon and a half of gas.

 

another words not for me...haha
