Help fix dent
Body filler and paint is pretty much the only way to do it. Either that or buy a good second hand tank.

Re: Help fix dent
No point if it's a drift bike. Get a sticker kit and cover it up

Re: Help fix dent
Get a Don'tfalloff that's the best tool for the job

Good advice but it's very hard to come by the Hindsight adaptors that you need for them nowadays. --- If it was me I'd just live with it unless it's causing problems. or get a Bagster cover? I'd prefer to look at a dent than a Bagster personally though.

Re: Help fix dent
That's part of the reason I've never tried to learn how to wheelie - **** happens.
Either pay for a new tank or live with the souvenir. If you plan on practicing some more, then I'd live with it as you'll be getting a collection of scratches and dents to go with it.

Re: Help fix dent
Dent pullers do work to help minimise the amount of filling. But at the end of day, you will need to learn how to paint
