Absolutely gutted - parked my bike at the hairdressers, (on a slope) and as I opened the door, the bike slowly rolled forwards, off the side stand and met the floor.

snapped clutch handle and a painful dent on the fuel tank - absolutely gutted.

Any1 know anyone local - Preston (Lancshire) area where I could get my dragstars fuel tank filled and restored?.. its a flat matt black colour - will try and post some pics - man I'm sooo depressed - I think I'd rather have broken a limb

Can any1 help me please?...

many thanks,

you could try the water method and freez the dent out just drain fuel out fill with water to the top bung all holes up and put in a freezer then the water will expand and push the dent out but it may crack the tank

Thanks, but I was thinking of getting it resprayed again, so really need some1 to knock the dent out and re-spray .... Any one?...

I think I'm gonna cry :-(

Aagghh! dammit, didnt you leave it in gear?...very painful lesson if the answer is no...

Nope... in neutral... What a dope....

Wont be doing that again.... :-(

I've been quoted £160 for a fill up and re-spray/laquer of the fuel tank ... Seems a bit pricey... Can any1 recommend any1?.... preferably near preston - am willing to hand carry my tank say - 30 miles radius?...

the previous posts are 2 1/2 years old - he's probably long over it..

might be worth starting a fresh thread for your own XJ6 query.
