mits007 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 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, -Mits- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barwell1992 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
