ha ha ha awesome... yep your know motorcycles! if it was not for these little CBs your bike would not be what it is now... Harley had to complete with them in the 70s and almost lost... I just love motorcycles and LOVE to work on them... i am not sure if you are mad cause you dont know how to work on bikes or if you are just your stereotypical naive Harley owner... to me... i love em... after this one i plan on building another one out of a CB750, 1st generation sport bike...
dont want to start a pissing match, just did some tank dents and wanted to post the progress, pour youself another glass of wine and take your walker back to the living room

ahhh now that is my favorite bike out there! SICK... i am broke too that is why i build all my own stuff,,, building this bike for $350 TOTAL! $1 for ever CC... Crash, dont sweat it man i have thick skin, just like to give people **** brother!
so here is how i did it... rubber mallet, clear plastic, beer, marker, beer
outline the shape you want on one side of the tank, put your clear plastic down trace the shape and cut it out, i used clear and not plastic cause i wanted to draw it on the tank so that i could make it form to that particular tank rather than do it on cardboard and hoped it looked good.. after you get the get the shape on the plastic just cut it out and put it on the other side of the tank... drink rest of beer... now the ***** section, take rubber mallet and hit the tank, i found that working from the inside out worked the best... get them till they match up and then bondo it smooth and sand away when it dries.. that hows i dids it!

here is some ruff bondo before i have sanded it down... it will be smooth! you can also see i have filled all the creases in the tank so it is totally smooth
