Hi Folks,
This is Dan, let me show you step by step on how I build stuff each week including my CB750 Cafe Racer & the (Honda Scrambler/Tracker build on a budget challenge) SUBSCRIBE to follow my future builds, I'm based in Australia.

I just inflate them to put pressure the dent from the inside and tap with a body hammer to exite the metal around the edges working my way in.

Good call on box opening, everyone has opened a box before and knows how its done

[OvervoltedMinds]

The thing with Vevor, at least from my experience, is from all the Chinese tool brands, this wouldn’t disappoint on build quality and functionality wise also not too bad. For professional use I wouldn’t be able to say anything as I’m not one, but for crafting and DIY, I cannot complain. And they don’t break the bank either.

Repaired lots of bike and boat tanks. Often faster just to cut the bottom out, can get inside with an English wheel. Other item I use is an Inflatable Door Airbag/Wedge.

I’ve done it by bronze welding a bolt to the dented area and using a slide hammer then cut bolt off and smooth it with a disc

Seen videos on youtube of it being done with a modified bike inner tube. Seemed to work great, and of course is also cheap..

I would have tried some compressed air first. It wouldn't get the little ones out but larger side ones would pop . When I restored a Z900 A4 kawasaki the tank had 2 golf ball sized dents on the sides where the wrong handle bars were fitted and they hit the tank. A old local fella popped them out with his special tools he uses through the filler hole. He did a perfect job, not an oz of filler.

You can do this very simply, if the dent isn't creased, by making a plug for the fuel can and sealing off the fuel taps. In the plug fit a car tyre valve or similar so you can add air via a hand pump. The plug will need to be clamped so it doesn't pop off. Assuming the tank is thoroughly cleared of petrol, oil, etc so no explosive fumes are generated gently heat the dent to red heat with a gas torch (butane or propane) and build up air pressure (not to much or the tank may go out of shape or split a seam) to lift the dent. This doesn't work in all cases but most dents can be removed sufficiently well.

A handy machine if you're do doing a lot of bodywork 👍 Can it be used as a spot welder?

[Henrik.Yngvesson]

I have no experience with this but I feel that aiming for the middle and with very light pulls work it out slowly and not go all over it like that. And the key is going slow so you don't get the sharp outward dents. Also the use of a gas torch might help to anneal the area to be pulled, like the edges of the dent where you have a lot of resistance.

Another method is to cut open the inside of the tank to get a hand and tools inside. Evan Wilcox builds and also repairs polished aluminium tanks, he almost daily share his work in short videos and explain what he does and the thought process.

Parabéns pela apresentação do processo de reforma e apresentação técnica Abraços Daniel Dmotos aqui do Brasil.

[kleidtomasse]

Seen someone do dentless paint repair on tanks and seems cheaper to do but needs more effort.. but I guess if you add bodyfillers paint and polish its the same effort but dentless repair seems better..

[orhankabak]

For all the people with cafe racer builds experience, what would be a good first build for a beginner? HELP PLEASE 🤠

Great video's btw💪 keep it up🤟

[MayorofDipshittery-lqif]

You ever watch those guys from India taking dents out of tanks while sitting at the side of the road, wearing flip flops and using a shaped piece of bar

[johnnyblaze]

set it under pressure and use the gluepuller

[johnDukemaster]

A dentist are you? 🙂 On tanks from bikes with injection, there's a big hole at the bottom, for the pump. Stick something in to hold against when tapping with a hammer on the outside. I did that on a bike I had a few years ago. A brand new Honda CB650R I modified a bit.
Really nice looking machine, but boring engine. 🙂

[benscheeres]

Hi, I’m in Ipswich and from watching your channel I have started a CB750 cafe racer with a super moto fork conversion.
How do I get a roadworthy?
In Queensland?

[Derpderpson]

I go to a PDR specialist, I'm handy but not that handy

[zeemanjr]

Yeah, Look up paintless dent repair . There are tons of videos on youtube.

Nice review Dan, looks like it gets the job done. Dan with your tig welder, as the fan runs constantly is it noisy ? As I am looking at purchasing one . Ride safe and take care. Cheers
