dents?

Is it possible to have a small dent pulled out of your frame? I went through a bunch of bullshit to get a clean title and the other night i put a ding in my frame?

Re: dents?

JWR is right, you'd have better luck hiding it. Depending on where the ding is, its a pain in the A$$ to get it pulled out right... and especially get it pulled out without leaving a trace. If you pull a ding out of the frame and want to leave no trace of it ever being there, you'll probably have to pull it and I'd suggest getting it powder coated or smoothed over and painted professionally. Its a painful process b/c mild steel and aluminum is so hard to return to its original form and texture. So good luck!!!!

Re: dents?

you can cut the frame in half and it wont change the title status so dont worry about it. as long as an insurance compay doesnt own it, it will stay a clean title

Re: dents?

right, but its going to take away from the value of the bike having a dent in the frame. The dent is hidden by the fairing anyhow so im not worried about appearance.

Re: dents?

Well, again it is possible to have it pulled out but it will be super hard to have it pulled out cleanly to where it won't be noticed when/if you decide to sell the bike. Like I said before frames are tempermental metals b/c of the angles, bends, welds, and type of metal used to make frames. But if you have it pulled out, you MIGHT need to have it filled and grinded smooth. Thats why I recommend if you have any grinding done have your frame powder coated b/c you will never ever be able to tell it was there if you have it smoothed over really well.

Re: dents?

Its not a question of finding a place to do it... its a question of finding a place who does it really well. Talk to "Zackie Chan", he's a good friend of mine who would know of somewhere to get you hooked up. As for cost, depending on the location and the size whoever it is will usually charge an hourly rate. Most shops are in the range of $70 per hour, so it could be quick and painless or a B I T C H.
