Default Tank Dent 2012 FXS

How do I fix a small dent on my tank?? :/ Brand new FXS... I already know it's not cheap, whatever avenue I take...Maybe I'll leave it there...I'll add a photo if anyone can diagnose.

Thanks

Depending on where on the tank and how big, you can do paint less dent repair from the inside out. Check with your local car dealers, they often have someone who stops by once a week. A dealer by me charges $50 a dent and up.

If you have some courage, nerves, and air compressor with a regulator you can turn way down, or a bicycle pump and a 6 pack. You can remove your tank, drain it, plug all hole but the one you're gonna put the air to and slowly increase pressure to pop out the dent.

Caution --it will only take a few pounds of pressure to pop it out. it will only take 1 or 2 psi more blow out the tank seem. Please use extreme caution or have someone else do it.
