Is it possible to remove this dent without damaging the paint? This is the only dent. It is otherwise a nice tank. I like the patina, and want to keep it as is, if possible.
This is called a crease, and a crease makes a dent much more difficult to remove.View attachment 185778 View attachment 185779

Yes, you took the words right out of my mouth, as Meatloaf said.It is my understanding that the steel of these tanks is too thick for your typical paintless dent repair.
There are numerous techniques available on YouTube, including stuffing a sphygmomanometer into the tank and pumping it up.But yeah, wondering about new technologies. Like glue on, or even suction-cup stems to pull on.
fargin amazin. that's the ticket. would not be surprised if there's a guy in Austin
I’d give him a call before deciding for yourself how much he’ll charge you. He can get creases too!
This is the crossbar dent repair kit from Harbor Freight. Have some of you had success pulling dents from a Yamaha XS tank with this? Or, is it a waste of time and money. I was going to send tanks to Georgia for repair, but if this will pull that metal, so much the better. I'm not really too concerned about the paint.
