Ding King Twist-A-Dent Kit
Man, who would have thought a simple question would have been such a complication. I guess I was under the impression that mature, knowledgable people responded to these things. (Thank you to those who were actually helpful)
ANYWAY, I checked with a mechanic on the deal and he said if a problem were to arise, it would have been immediate as it would cause one of the pistons to misfire. The pipes, he informed me, were made to be soft in order to absorb impact easily. He also said it is a simple fix...get a dent remover (as one some one previously suggested).
And as for my F-up that everyone is so ready to critisize, I was following my friend and he was kind enough NOT to inform me that he bottomed out too. But, this my first bike and I ride 60 miles every day to work so its bound to get messed up. I love the thing, but DAMN, its just a motorcycle.
I hope some of you idots on this forum are more mature on the road than you are here.
That is excellent work well done.It doesn't sound like a structural or functional problem, but you may be concerned about the appearance of the dent as well. If it is a double-walled pipe, then the out wall my be thin enough to pull the dent out of. I just repaired a dent in my tank using the "Ding King" dent repair kit. I got it at Advanced Auto for just under $20. It uses a special hot glue that sticks a threaded post to the dented surface and a bridge with a screw-down knob that pulls the post and dent out. The instructions say that you may have to repeat the process up to 10 times, and I did it about 7 times before I was satisfied, but the tank looks great again. No damage to the paint. I'm very happy with the results. It might just work on your pipe to. :thumbup:
Here's some before and after shots:
