 Posted: 20:48 - 16 May 2014 Post subject: Tank repair shops around London? |
 |
|
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
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, |

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. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........
