[@tomnucci1272]

This was my tank! BRICE IS THE BEST!!! I will note that 3 other local PDR guys all said it was impossible to fix. The last gentleman I spoke to said, "I can't do it, but this guy can!" and proceeded to give me Brice's number. Besides being incredible at his craft, Brice is an equally nice human being.

What is the cost on this type of job?

[@tomnucci1272]

@@BSZTEX If I remember correctly, it was around $700

[@dingking7577]

Hi Tom, I’m one of the techs that told you it wasn’t repairable due to the contour and thickness of the metal. I truly apologize for that, I was wrong, obviously, lol. I didn’t know of Brice back then or I would have referred him to you. So glad to see someone did get you to him. He’s a humbling tech to guys like me that have been doing it for so long. After chatting and messaging with Brice the past few months I agree he is a genuine person with skills that go beyond comprehension. Again, my apologies for the bad information I gave you at the time.

[@1lorddevn]

What would it have cost to replace? Thanks.

[@dingking7577]

@@1lorddevn THEY ARE RIDICULOUSLY OVER PRICED FROM HARLEY! Like smack the salesman, then apologize cause you realize he didn’t set it. Lol Then after you pay up to and over $1000 for A GAS TANK, you have to have them paint it because they don’t sell their paint so you have to have them paint it also which use to run $750ish. You could find a local painter to do it but it won’t be a perfect match. I’ve owned 1 Harley. That was enough. Now I stick with Kawasaki and Suzuki.

[@dingking7577]

I feel so bad for giving customers bad information on these kind of tanks for so long. I actually past on this tank and told him it wasn’t possible due to the depth, contour and strength of the metal. I’m just glad he found you. Great job dude.

[@1991tommygun]

The skill this guy has is crazy. PDR jobs blow my mind honestly

[@ZackBadCompany1234]

I am truly impressed. I honestly didn't even think it was possible to be able to repair a dent in steel without damaging the paint job in any way. What would a single dent like that cost a guy to have you repair it like you did??

[@cfldentrepair]

Thanks for checking this out. We used industry guidelines based on size and factors. This repair was roughly $600-650 if I recall. Sometimes PDR won’t be the most cost-effective route, but it’s always the best if you’re trying to preserve the bike’s factory finish or patina in some cases.👍🏻

[@ZackBadCompany1234]

@@cfldentrepair just fantastic work. There's definitely a place for it. I will be searching for a service like yours before changing the gas tank on my bike if something terrible were to ever happen. (Knocks on wood) some paint job needs to remain original. WELL DONE 👏

[@bigalt250]

Having worked for a large automotive manufacturer and working on the inspection line in the paint area; you'd be shocked how many of your new vehicles have experienced very similar repairs at the factory. Granted, as stated in the video, vehicle panels are much more malleable and easier to work with. Performing this type of job on a painted vehicle is a phenomenal skill even on thinner metal. This was very impressive.

[@mpbiv421]

Still so amazed every time you post a video! Your work is flawless and I am glad I was able to hire you even for the small stuff on my Evo.

[@cfldentrepair]

Dude you made that look easy, but I can't imagine how hard that repair was to do, I would have thought the paint would flake off. Great job.

[@cfldentrepair]

@@MightyMick88 incredibly challenging task, but I truly wanted to prevail for this customer, especially with the bike being so new.👍🏻

Fricken bad ass brother. I picked up a 2011 gsxr600 from Copart and did all the repairs already the tank has a linear dent and I think I have enough access with the tank cap unbolted. Sadly thiers rust on the points of the rust so gonna body hammer and work it up out and watching this makes me feel a bit better as I have one pdr pick I found in a car at work lol 😆

[@raymondsmalls4602]

can you tell us what tools were used in this repair?

[@user-li1bi9zl1l]

As always great job Brice! Why didn't I start working with glue technology at the initial stage? After all, it turned out a lot of cleaning at the finish line.

[@cfldentrepair]

Ремонт Вмятин ...that’s a great question! The reason I did not use glue on this repair is because Harley Davidson paint adhesion is not the greatest, unfortunately. Usually glue pulling on these tanks will result in the paint delaminating and completely coming off in some cases. Glue pulling is possible on motorcycle gas tanks, but only on certain types.

[@user-li1bi9zl1l]

@@cfldentrepair There is a powerful cold glue(Liquid terminator).We work with them on Harleys,and so Yes, the varnish on them is very hard and brittle, not like on cars.

[@ronniec8038]

Basically knocking the high stress areas down to release stress incrementally over the course of the repair.....and I forgot to mention grit and determination 😉👍🏻

How do you prep a tank for Dent Repair as far as taking it off the bike and cleaning the fuel out?

[@cfldentrepair]

Motorcycle gas tank/ fender prep instructions: * tank must be totally dry * tank/fender must be dismounted and mounted by customer * any additional parts must be removed in order to mount onto motorcycle gas tank/fender stand for repair (Tank must be completely gutted. Fuel pump, hoses and harnesses need to be completely removed.) * you can either drop off tank/fender or ship *additional $50-75 fee is included in price range and applies for mounting motorcycle gas tank/fender to Tank/Fender Vice and badge removal if necessary

[@anthonya824]

Was it all just finessed tapping with that hammer and punch to get the final look?

It’s actually a combination of both finessing from the back side with rods and knocking down any high points from the outside to achieve that final glass finish. Thanks for watching.

[@BillySBC]

Very very seriously doubt anyone would simply pop a dent out like that and get a near factory result. The metal is stretched fro the dent, popping the dent out is only going to reveal the stretch with an outward bulge.

[@cfldentrepair]
