Default Gas Tank dent...

I have a dent in my gas tank on my 04 Gixxer. Don't ask me how, because I can't figure it out either. But how fixable is this? What kind of cash are we talking?

Depends on where the dent is and how big it is.

You should be able to pressurize your tank with air and blow the dent out. But it all depends on the dent.

I had a bad dent in mine from a wreck and had Psyco Cycles fix it. You can't even tell now.

Depending on how bad it is, I would say expect to pay anywhere from $75 - $150 to fix it.

and possibly rip a hole in the tank, or deform it all together. I can fix your poo if you need it. Done several bikes thus far, look at the one DB's avatar, did that one for instance.
