I dented my tank in today and somehow managed to put a tiny whole in the damn thing. I siliconed it up and it apears to have fixed it, but i would like to know if the silicone will hold up ir if there is somethin else I should do? Thanks

 

how the hell did you do that?

dont use a hammer, should of just jumped on it with your feet.

im not sure of a way to fix it.............most peoples that do this have to buy another tank!

 

I did use my feet and jump on it. It has a hump along the front of the tank and when it pressed in it ceased causin a tiny hole

 

hmmmmmmmmmm...........dont know, will have to wait for the auto body techs to get on here and tel you what to do!

hopefully its fixable and you dont have to buy another tank!

 

The pinhole is right in the crease in the red circle

 

jb weld make suer you clean and sand the area first it should work

 

how'd you get those creases in the tank? was the tank already damaged? cant see all that happening by just jumping on it!

 

The tank has a step up on the sides and when i jumped to push it down the sides came inward and creased it. you can see the step up in these pics. with the squared of edges the sides came inward before they went down and caused the crease

 

oops forgot the pics

 

damn.............that thing was perfect too

next time wait tel your at the riding spot with us, to do it best takes like 3 or 4 people. need to have 2 or 3 hold the bike level and one jumpin on it.

those pics arent lookin good, ill keep my ears out for another one, but like greg said. j/b weld for now!

you going to snow creek tom with all of us?

should be there around 11am

:YEAH

 

I might go if I can get a ride out there. I got no ride other that the bike right now. Think you guys would have room for a passenger if I could get out to the metcalf spot

 

probably......im sure we will all be packing into 1 or 2 cars!

 

that is the worst tank ive ever seen! Ask johnny if he can get you a new one! But in the mean time jb weld or 3M 8115 panel bonding glue! I'll look around see if i can find a better tank!

 

Yeah it went to **** has a ****ed up shape. im already wokin on gettin another

 

when you use that jb weld or if you use the 3M 8115, make sure the area is free of gas and use a grease and wax remover to clean the surface before putting anything on it. good luck!

 

I sealed it up wit silicone saturday night and checked it the leak is gone, but im gonna go ahead and try to get another tank.

 

yeah that silicone won't hold for long! Take your time one will turn up cheep!

 

Yeah I got a line on one already should no somethin about it in a day or 2

 

hey yo got your tank in mint 200.oo scratched 150.00 stuntstyle 100.00
the choice is yours

 

Hey Johnny you got any pics of them? The one i got a line on is on the east coast so if you got one here local that would be sweet
