SLO97VFR Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 After watching a few videos of using a hair dryer and some compressed duster spray, I would give it a shot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFR4Lee Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Go for the PDR guys they should be able to get it out. You may want to call around though, I saw a video on youtube where a guy specializes on tank repairs. There a special PDR tools specifically made for motorcycle tanks and you shouldn't have to remove the tank. Good luck!

Member Contributer VFR Capt.Bob Posted April 29, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted April 29, 2009 I used the Ding King hot glue system to pull out a similar dent. About 85% success. Good enough to take the 1/2 tank bra off and apply stomp grip pads. You can still notice it. For a $30 repair I feel ok with it. Don't try to tap on your tank at all. It will dent very easy. It took about 8 tries to get it all the way out. Take your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Thanks for all of the replys! I'm still PO'ed about this tho! Now my wife's Jeep GC has dent on the driver's side door. This happen this morning at the hospital, when she was getting a PET Scan. I can't win! :angry:I have to fine someone in my area to do PDR. Maybe I can get a 2for deal. LOL That's why I leased my car. I pay like $5 a month extra for a no worries lease. All I have to do is pull into the dealership in it when the lease is up.. so my kids open the door into the shopping cart cage at the grocery store and I shrug my shoulders and say, "it's a lease" What freedom in not giving a crap about stuff like that. When I crashed my 86 VFR700 I used my recovery time to glue the plastics together and sand things down so I could repaint it. I've been thinking of going to Maco fo ra $300 paint job but then again the tail sections tarted cracking again so I slapped some black duct tape on it. no one has noticed enough to ask what happened.

Member Contributer AvalonRacing Posted May 22, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted May 22, 2009 I'm a freak about door dings on cars. I hate to see them because they always unnecessary and say "Some a-hole doesn't give a crap about anything that isn't theirs". Paintless dent removal guys can work wonders. When I was a photographer we needed to do a photo shoot for a local PDR business. My brand new Acura was the perfect color for the shoot. Initially I said "NFW!" (no way) when it was brought up. So the dent guy said, "Let me show you something". He picked up a screwdriver walked over to a new, from the dealer, Jaguar that was in the shop. Taking the blunt handle of the screwdriver he slammed it into the door leaving a deep silver dollar sized dent. Three minutes later, it was gone... Completely! I said, what the hell and let him dent my car. We got the "before" shot with the dent and after he fixed it we got the "after" shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Not sure where you are located in Pa, but I used to work at a car dealership in Putnam county NY (right at the intersection of I84 and I684) We went through a few PDR guys, and finally settled on Kevin. He's a buddy of mine and he is a miracle worker. I've seen him take out some really crazy dents. The one thing I would be concerned about is how "sharp" the dent is. If its very small and very deep, sometimes the paint can crack when the dent comes out. Either way, if that area of NY isnt too far of a ride for you, I can hook you up with his number. He's often in the Middletown / Port Jervis area also, which is very close to the Pa border. If you dont have TALENTED PDR guy near you send me a PM.

Been too busy with work and wife's chemo again to do anything right now. First chance I get, I'm going to get it fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been too busy with work and wife's chemo again to do anything right now. First chance I get, I'm going to get it fix. Ok that would be quite a bit too far to ride to get a dent removed. I wish your wife the best. Good luck to the both of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
