I'm in trouble now....
Well...stupid husband trick of the week...
The lovely wife and I just bought matchng Scion XD Rls1.0 - that's a story in itself, BUT, while cleaning up the garage and making room for the two cars, Nomad and Vulcan 900 Custom, I finished and hit the garage door closer---walk into the house---and hear---CRASH Think to myself - Hmmm, that doesn't sound good. Go out to investigate and see that my @(*&^#^%$E OEM Nomad Exhaust has fallen of a shelf and put a nice dent in the wife's gas tank. :(" title="" border="0"/> :(" title="" border="0"/> Damn :-[ So I call her and she is actually really good about it. First thing is I said I'd make it right and she knows I will. Damn :-[ She took it WAY better than I would have. So, I am looking for a NEW OEM CANDY PLASMA BLUE 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 CUSTOM gas tank I don't want used, or aftermarket or unpainted or any compromise. Any help out there? I know I used to get good OEM stuff for my Bandit from some name I would remember, like Bike Bandit, but t was something else.... Thanks in advance Maybe the day will get better. :-/ Login or Register to Remove Ads |

How bad is the dent? are there any creases? if not you can remove it with dry ice or a hair dryer and air duster

Dent is actually pretty deep - I tried the Dry-ice and it's just too big - thanks for the help though
FWIW, with the fuel gasket, the whole deal runs $520. and 7-10 working days - at least it's already painted. Got some touch-up paint pens from colorrite to take care of a couple minor scuffs she had anyway It's an expensive day ::) |

As far as I'm concerned you are having a great day. ........ Your bride not only enjoys riding but also has HER OWN BIKE to ride along with you. Lucky stiff.

Hey check out Gadgets site, he has a way you can get that dent out using only dry ice. It'd be worth a try. :-/
