If you're in a TIG only class weld yourself a bitchin SS tank.

its got this weired *** bennd for the key/ignition area. some weired *** fuel pump mounting thing, the top of the ------- air box is the bottom of the gas tank.

if it was a pan head in a paugco frame that would be an idea.
but not with this piece of greasey mobster trash bike.

i think ill cut it open and work the dent out.
thanks for the help.
do you have any other tips for hammering the dent out?

used it on my buddys 929 after he got mad at the cop that pulled us over and though it would be a good idea to take his anger out on his tank with his fist. worked pretty well. your going to have to use some type of filler regardless because its not gonna get the dents out completely.
the kit is like 25 buck at vatozone.
