You can have someone with the tools try to massage it out from inside for you. You can remove the tank and try to pop it out with air, I have even heard of people filling the tank with water and freezing it. If it is too deep or the metal stretched to much you may be in trouble.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #192051 hardone2get (User) Who care's what you ride!

They have the tools to get in there and work that dent out without damage to the paint.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #192054 javawave (User) Over 17235 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5710 Re:dropped helmet on tank 2 Years, 9 Months ago   I had a couple taken out of my car that way. The only one they couldn't do was from a golf ball and it stretched the metal too far for him to try. It works very well.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #192058 Road_Hawg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1397 Re:dropped helmet on tank 2 Years, 9 Months ago   I have heard of them using dry ice or something to pop them out. I am for the paint less dent repair idea. I see them all over the place in shopping center parking lots down here in Texas after a hail storm.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #192068 javawave (User) Over 17235 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5710 Re:dropped helmet on tank 2 Years, 9 Months ago   Here is a demo on how to do it yourself with Dry ice. dry ice demo   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #192071 dearman (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 275 Re:dropped helmet on tank 2 Years, 9 Months ago   I used to repair hail damage with a rose bud torch and dry ice but you always had to paint.... I did the same thing on a triumph bonny 750. A German friend got it out by removing the tank petcock plugging all vents then filling 3/4 with water and putting in alka seltzer.....warning, warning, warning the presure it takes to pop the dent out can cause other issues.

Another way to take a dent out - Canned air   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #192074 javawave (User) Over 17235 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5710 Re:dropped helmet on tank 2 Years, 9 Months ago   Good video.

Both methods best done when the medal is warm. I bet it would be harder to do on a tank because the medal is much heavier (thicker). Worth a shot though.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/05/04 15:26 By Road_Hawg.     The administrator has disabled public write access.
