Go to youtube and search "motorcycle paintless dent repair". It's amazing what they can do. You can have someone ship your tank to one of these places and it will be ready for you when you come home. Here's a link to a harley tank repair: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vzw7svXz_Q. This repair cost $260
THATS A GREAT WAY TO GO. a lot of peeps upgrade to paint sets and there are take offs on ebay. also, if the damage isnt that bad, you should get an estimate from a repair shop. if it is repaired well no one would ever know the difference. good luck

When I bought my Springer Classic it had the 2 tone paint on the tank. I wanted all black so I went on Ebay and found a black one, stock paint off of a heritage for less than $100.00.
Just be patient and you will find one. In the meantime you can sleep easy knowing that you've gotten the "1st Dent" out of the way.

I had my 09 FXSTC for three damn days, and I dumped it trying to load it on the back of my pickup with a single ramp after it rained...she said it was a bad idea!
I put a sizable dent in the left side of my tank. The bike is vidid black, and I'm wondering if anyone sells a stock tank w/ paint. I've looked for a while now and all I can find are bare or primered tanks....any suggestions??
Thanks in advance for any input!!

I feel the pain but Someone has to ask this!!!
New Bike Needs loaded in back of truck...Just wondering why would U have to put a new bike in the back of a truck.??
One truck, One ramp, (WET) One 700# bike. Did U at least get help or did U try it by Ur self?
IMHO, She said it was a bad Idea.. U better keep her around. sounds pretty wise.

I was really curious about that myself but wanted to stick to the question. Glad you asked.

Op top of that, the only place to get leverage on a tank is the filler neck. It'd get bent to ****..
The repair option would include some filler for sure...
