    Gas Tank Repair

    So now I have two expensive gas tanks that are all smashed in... Anyone know a place that might be able to make these look halfway decent again for cheap?

    Call Travis from "I Know A Guy" painting. He is very reasonable at repairs and paintwork. His number is 303-887-4227.

    Call Dave Barker at Speedmetal. 3zero3 6195693. He's fixed a couple of smashed in metal Triumph tanks for me and did a really good job.

    True story. Ether works great for the big dents. Also works awesome for seating beads on big racing slicks. I can charge the tank with 2,000 lbs of Nitrogen if you want, no fire danger that way? It usually makes them fit on the bike pretty crappy afterward though, haha.
