I'm down with the custom paint. I would spring a little for a color other than black though.

DONT BONDO THE DENT!,  the dent doesnt look creased to bad, you can massage it out from the inside if your careful and take your time.  or look into Paintless Dent repair, shouldnt cost much to have this done. i have seen paintless dent repair, and let me tell you, its almost magical, aslong as the metal hasnt be overly stretched out, its posible to gently nudge the metel from inside and take out the dent.

i think ill get it painted either black or silver...nothing fancy...dont want to attract attention to it in my neighborhood...

does anyone kno if the gs wheels ever came in gold? that guy leveller has gold rims....he probably got them powdercoated tho....i got a set of charcoal grey wheels coming in (got the rear, waiting on the front) but i think gold would look alot alot alot better

I don't think the Paintless Dent repair will work .  I have a small dent in my tank, and when I called "Dent Wizard" they informed me that they can not do MC tanks because they are double walled.

Just bondo the dumb thing, thats what I did with mine, its easy, quick, and doesnt cost a bunch of money.

My '96 is in a color called 'Pearl Novelty Black'.  Black mixed with blue metallic flakes.  Pretty cool  Unfortunately Suzuki then decided to slap on some hideous purple decals that year!

Why not try that color?

I'm looking to get my bike repainted as well.  Does anyone know of a good place to get paint/dent fixing done in the NYC/Long Island area?  Can auto painters do this no problem?
