Hi guys, I'm looking at buying a bike that has a small shallow dent in the tank (sorry, no pictures at the moment). Does anyone know any good tips for removing dents without damaging the paint? Or are there any good places in Auckland that can do it? Cheers.

Compressor...seal tank, adapt fitting for petcock threaded opening and you can pop out dents...

Just live with the dent.

Is it really that bad?

Don't bother doing this if you can't regulate the pressure, you're likely to just split the tank

don't use an axe, nor frozen fowl.

Put a dent on the other side. Call it customised

Throw some exhaust wrap on there and you have yourself a genuine one off custom cafe-racer

Depends where dent is . U dont need much pressure a bicycle pump can be enough for a large shallow dent ..it will pop but won't be perfect ... a second hand tank is often a good idea ..OR do the prep yourself and get a pro to finish it ....
