PostPosted: 20:48 - 16 May 2014    Post subject: Tank repair shops around London? Reply with quote

A bike thief dropped my ER6 in a supermarket car park, they didn't notice the disc brake lock on the rear as they tried to wheel it away. Most annoyingly I was waiting for crash bobbins to arrive in the post Evil or Very Mad

The drop has left deep scratches and small dents to the tank, I'm not confident in repairing it myself and a replacement tank isn't cheap.

Can anyone recommend workshops in or around London who can repair such damage?

Thanks,

Which bit of London, it's quite a big place.

South East, but as I said, in or around - London's much smaller when there's an excuse to ride!

As a former Dent Master style operative, I can tell you bike tanks are an entirely different kettle of fish to pushing out something on a car door skin or wing, at the side of the road.

You might be able to use a sucker on the outside, but if that fails, you're into using your metal tools against the inside of a metal vessel full of petrol vapour, one spark and you're in a whole world of trouble.

Unless it's properly drained and purged, repairing dented fuel tanks (the right way) can be fraught with danger.
