Fuel Tank Repair

Is it worth repairing the fuel tanks when they get dented? If so, any referrals? Chicago area preferable but will ship if needed.

 

That's a little more than a dent. Those creases will be a problem.

 

Ya it's pretty fucked , what year R6 I've got a decent tank id let go pretty cheap

 

meh... nothing a little (ok a lot of) Bondo can't fix. Yes, I'm serious. As long as it's not leaking now... start trying to pull that dent and then you'll have cracks and leaks to deal with.

 

Shit...don't pull the dent...just use the flat spot to put your beer.

 

I have a guy in Steger / South Chicago Heights down by me who can fix it.

 

Looks for a tank that is crushed on the left side, then cut one up as a patch panel for the other.

 

That should just buff out.

 

Get a new one.

 

How'd the fuck did you do that?
Be pricy, but I can repair it.

That's what I was wondering. Looks like it landed upside down on top of a post.

 

ANYTHING can be fixed , I could fix it or pack it full of mud BUT the price would be more than a used tank lol

 

Amateur , shut up!

 

Hardly .......

 

How bout this tank?

 

I couldn't stand the orange anyhow! Way too slow! It started out as a low side but teh bike ended up rolling a few times

 

she-done..
there's a OEM part number for a gunmetal silver, totally bare r6 tank. Price is about $325 .. i would have to dig around to find that part number. Any dealer can order .

 

That's easy

 

Looks like it is 13S-24110-00-P8

 

bingo. that's it. Many sites are showing $330+- without any discounts. Since a tank will likely get painted, this is a good option to have. Many people ask $400 for a USED tank, and it sometimes needs some prep (minor dings) prior to painting.
