Is this tank repairable?

[Garrett]

You see the dent in it from where the shed collapsed and one of the tubes of frame work slammed into it.


Is it repairable? Better question: is it cost effectively repairable?

[martyk]

can't exactly see the dent in the picture...

[CBR929RE]

its behind the gas cap, parallel with the blue line but a few inches above it

You should go around the other side of the house or over the garden fence and take a picture from there. Hang on. I'm in California right now. Ill take a picture from here and post it for you.

1993 ?

[Garrett]

Bro, save that tank. Someone can fix it....dent doctor or something like that. That machine is freakin awesome and a ledgend. Slow as hell, a pig to turn but classic 90's sportbike.....awesome.

Hold on.. Let me get a closer look

That being said, post up a closer pic as soon as you finish with it in the darkroom, put the enlarger to good use and scan it.

[carsick]

Polaroids, please.

[breakdirt916]

re-draw the pictures with crayons?

[LuvDog]

Great choices in bikes. 7R is still my favorite

It's easily repairable. They'll just tack weld a few bits to it that give them a grip to pull the dent out, then snap the bits off and grind it smooth. The remaining imperfections can be easily filled with bondo. White is really easy to match too.

Any idea on a price point?

[nt650hawk]

looks like the initial hit of a stunt bike tank modification.

IIRC, cost me $200 to have mine fixed in 2000. I would find a body shop that was shortly planning to spray a car with white and perhaps get a discount... There's a lot of time spent mixing paint and cleaning spray guns.

[landricscustoms]

i can fix that tank. cost would be $250 flat rate for the repair and paint. decal is additional.. lol
