Pics?!  We could offer better suggestions with some good pics and descriptions.

But until then... another member was able to get a large dent out of his tank using a 'home remedy' type method... turned out pretty good.  Link Below.  But it depends on the location, size, and other specifications of your dent (such as repainting or not) for what options are more appropriate for your case.

run 100 gallons of gas through it. can't see the paint at all if you're riding right.

babying a motorcycle is like waxing a truck.

best rim cleaner i have used is a 5 pack combo ...

part #1 Kerosene/degreaser
part #2 Old rag
Part #3 Muscle Power
Part #4 Rinse with water if degreaser, a little carwash+ water if kero
Part #5 repeat #2+#3.

:thumb:

kero is also good for cleaning your chain... keepin your lantern lit late at night when you sitting next to bike tellin it a bedtime story... settin' the neighbours lawn on fire when their cat pisses on your seat!!  :icon_twisted:

I degreased them now all I see is the stock col :icon_lol:or and chipping away slowly I'm goin to eventually paint them neon green and I'm going to do a silver base coat and do a neon green over it then take Saran wrap put it on the wet paint and do that all over the tank then do 3-6 clear coats...!!!

I like 6 without test drive there's no respect to the sport/privilege that a bike has to offer if drinking is a part of it.im glad some one else believes the same moral I do..!!.!.! :cheers:
