So I dropped my bike as some of you might have read....but when I got home and started cleaning it up a lil bit I noticed there is a nice sized dent on the OPPISITE side of the bike (bike dropped on left, dent on right) anyone have any suggestions of how to fix this problem..?

 

Bondo

 

I would like to tell you that there is a easy way to remove it, but there really isn't. The dent can not be blown out or worked out. it must be either pulled or filled or pulled and filled, then repainted. If you have other questions just let me know and I'll try to help. The price to do that type of repair is somewhere between 80 - 200, depending on on the quality of repair. Gold luck and Aloha.

 

go for symmetry... drop it on the other side[sm=badidea.gif]

 

just my opinion but the last thing you wanna do is bondo up your bike, in fact you wanna use as little bondo as possible...reason-even if you get the same paint, same color, from the factory, it will not look the same, bondo is crap and will ruin your tank... now i do understand that if you decide not to buy a new tank(my choice)... you will have to use a little bondo but your best bet is to find a person that know seriously what he is doing to pull the dent. Also, it would probably cost as much as buying a new tank to fix, but they also make a fiber-glass clay to fill dents now, it's expensive tho and, on a car body, it would be useful but your better jus to by a new tank. You can buy tanks, pre-painted, for about $500.00. Sorry to hear about the dent tho...
