I came out of my apt. the other day to find my bike had been knocked over. To make a long story short, there is a dent about the size of a sand dollar on the right side of the frame/fuel tank. Has anyone had any luck getting dents out? I'm guessing probably not. Although too late, I need frame pucks. The Harley dealer here wants 30 per side. I thought they came as a kit for about 40-50. Is it in fact too late or will the frame pucks still attach well enough to hide most of the damage? The dent is right where the pucks fit. Any help is appriciated. | ||

You may try on of the paintless repair places. They use vacuum to pull dents on cars.. Don't know if it has been tried on the frame tank but worth a shot. MB | ||

Daves, what is different about the new improved pucks? | ||

better adhesive. there was a run of the old ones that would occasionally fall off. | ||

I don't recommend pulling out the dents! You are adding more stress into the metal by flexing it another time. You can probably cover the dent with a frame puck. Both my race frames have been really dented and scratched. Sand any scratches smooth and then re-paint the spot so it doesn't corrode. If you want to, you could fill the dent and re-paint it but you'd be better off just sticking on the frame protector after sanding out the scratches - unless the dent extends beyond the frame protector. Don't fill in the dent without smoothing the scratches though. Aluminum doesn't like sharp scratches. Stresses tend to build up so you're better sanding them out smooth. The XB frame is much more robust than you'd think and will tolerate much more damage than most people believe - though they're just not too pretty after a crash or tip-over. One more piece of advice: find the S.O.B. that knocked your bike over and have him cut up and fed to a pack of wild dogs! (Message edited by slaughter on January 04, 2006) | ||

Thanks for the business Armypunk! | ||

The frame pucks hide dents well. They hid the dent in my frame completely.... | ||

Hey, thank you for supporting buells, daves. I appriciate all the advise on repairs, etc... I wish I could find the S.O.B. and cut him/her with my k/bar. I don't discriminate. |
