Ding King
Following the advice of a fellow member I got a Ding King to remove a dent created by the PO by dropping the bike in his garage.

Tacking the pull out with a glue gun and applying the brace.

No more dents but in need of a new tank emblem. Not bad for $23 + $7 to replace the POS glue gun that came with the kit that did not work8-)

"Not bad for $23 + $7 to replace the POS glue gun that came with the kit that did not work"
This summer a freak windstorm caused a *huge* branch to come down on my GS450L... Made a dent right on the right "corner" of the tank (just above the gold stripe). Even tho it was sort of on a corner & had slight creasing, multiple uses of a Dent King (10-15 pulls?) made the dent a lot less noticable. Certianly not gone, but prob reduced the depth & diameter of the dent by at least half. Took off a bit of the stripe & used a dab of paint to fix that.
POS glue gun - Yep, right when I plugged mine in it made a big spark inside & was toast.... I opened it up, resoldered the wires & used heat-shrink tubing & then it worked fine. Got the DK set for like $15 delivered from some amazon_seller.
Great that it worked so well for you...Comment

Great post. I've got a few dents in my gas tank I would love to practice on. What kind of glue did you use? I've got to try that.Comment

Mark, the kit came with three glue sticks. When cool they were similar to a hardened rubber. I don't think I'd use the glue sticks that came with the new glue gun, they seemed too hard to work?

Cool! Nice work!Comment

I've been working on this one on the GSaSAWKI. Started by gently pushing it out from the inside using a set of those goofy stock handlebars that have a pretty good angle on them.Comment

not the best picture of the 1st stage of the repair, but the dent is almost half out. I am wondering if anyone has suggestions about the cracks in the paint job.
Something I can spray on there to keep it from getting worse? Obviously would like to keep the original paint job, don't care if it looks 100%Comment
