'Lo,
Perhaps some of you have seen my thread about a gentleman knocking over my bike. Anyhow, the biggest chunk of money for repairs will be for taking some minor dents out of the tank and repainting it (and the tail section).
Tail/sidecovers are fibreglass (yes, not original plastic. No, I don't know why).
Tank is normal steel. Dent is very shallow, about where your knee goes (very disconcerting to ride). Will a normal car panel-beaters be able to take this out? There are are a few tiny dings on the RHS, these would have to be bogged I dare say.
So, would a normal car panel-beaters be the best option? How much would I expect them to charge? $300-400 sound about right?
