Just put a sticker on the tank.

[@p9917j]

There are hot melt glue dent pullers on the market. Use it with the slide hammer.

[@PaulBilton]

Hi! Thanks for watching. I’ve been told the glue will damage the paint work. Do you think that seems correct?

[@p9917j]

@@PaulBilton I’ve seen it being done on aftermarket matt paint without issue but they were more careful not to break the bond, (hence using the slide hammer rather than the ratchet trigger jig) they used the supplied in the kit release fluid every time. Obviously paint manufacturers are different though so I’d advise removing the tank and trying on the underside first to see if it will create a similar issue as your sticker removal issue.

@@p9917j thanks for the info. I’ll give it all a go once I get my new replacement tank. Thanks again!!

[@p9917j]

Such a shame because both routes are very skilled, pdr that could drop something into the filler neck to change their pivot point or external repair leading to possible respray are both skilled labour intensive. It’s also different in my eyes seeing a pdr guy doing his magic at a show vs him and the customer making it commercially viable. Plus side is . If the d.i.y kit works to lessen the dent, the fact it’s not high gloss is favourable and it’s a popular bike so wait until ebay lowers fees and sell it to recoup as much as possible for the new extended range one. No doubt someone will have a more severe damaged tank at some point & be glad not to have to pay for brand new!

The 2021 bobber has the speedmaster tank.

[@PaulBilton]

That’s good to know. I had no idea they are exactly the same. Thanks for watching!!

[@Djbadazzmofo]

What's the tank size in gals for the speed master tank

[@PaulBilton]

@@Djbadazzmofo Hi, it's 12.0 litres (3.2 US gal) - cheers!

[@Djbadazzmofo]

@@PaulBilton awesome how much was the tank and where did u purchase it from

[@PaulBilton]

@@Djbadazzmofo If you go to a dealer it will cost you (approx) £600 for the actual tank and another £100 for the fuel gauge sensor. But if you are lucky occasionally they show up on Ebay.

[@chunyuen3825]

Still you have a great bike...

[@PaulBilton]

Yes you’re absolutely correct, it’s an amazing bike, I love it. Thank you for watching, much appreciated, 😊

[@woodcutter2479]

I have two pairs of black exhausts for sale if you need some

[@PaulBilton]

Thank you for the offer, but I have now fitted my Motone Saturn exhaust. (Next video is about them!) They sound REALLY good. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe if you haven’t already done so :)
