- 1973 Honda CB750 Tank Dent vs Inner Tube #Honda CB750 #cb750 #vintagemotorcycles
Welcome to our latest video where we attempt to repair a dent on the gas tank of a 1973 Honda CB750 using a paintless dent repair technique. In this video, we take you through our process of trying to push the dent out from the inside using an inner tube, and then using a rod and hammer to work on the dent.
While we did not achieve a perfect result, we were able to make some improvements to the dent, making it better than before. Along the way, we also had some fun trying out different techniques and tools to see what works best.
If you're interested in learning more about paintless dent repair and seeing how we tackled this particular dent, then be sure to watch the full video. Whether you're a seasoned mechanic or just someone who enjoys working on classic motorcycles, there's sure to be something in this video that you'll find interesting. So sit back, relax, and join us as we attempt to beat this dent into submission!

Ahhhh love the sound of a bike tank scraping across bare concrete😳🫣
Thanks for watching.
I love hare-brained schemes like this.....I must; I've engaged in a whole bunch of them.....and I have the scars. I have even put water into dirt bike expansion chambers and put in a chest deepfreeze to push out dents. Great video!! P.S. ALWAYS keep your leg under the tank when you drop it at speed on the highway!!! LOL.
Glad to hear from another “hare brain” 😂 Great minds think alike. Thanks for watching
I’ve watched ALOT of TH-cam videos! I would recommend using a deflated football, glue puller, heat and tapping around outside of dent. Thanks 😊.
I to have heard about the football. 🏈 one more thing. Lots of patience. Thanks for watching.
I used a blood pressure cuff with a squeeze bulb. Worked fine on my 1978 Honda 750. Easier to control where it is pushing. Saw it demonstrated on a TH-cam video. Great for a tank that you don't want to re paint. Yes finished of the job with a short wooden broomstick handle. Most people would never know that the tank had been dented...
The best way is to fill it with water and put it in a freezer... you will have to do that several times, but it does work!
That sounds like fun. I have another dented tank may have to give it a shot. 😂🤣😂 Thanks for watching
I think a better more controllable method would be to seal the filler,turn the tank upside down,fill with water and pressurise through the fuel tap fitting
That sounds like it could be fun. I wonder how much pressure the filler seal can hold?🤔 May have to find out. 🤣😂🤣
that is the best method to raise a big dent and no danger of exploding anything like there is with compressed air.
I agree with last posters put a peice of rope around the tube .an the pump it up after you warmed the tank up as hot as you cani did the same thing on my tanki filled it with very hot water then pumped it up also heat gun it pushed the hot water out but it kept it warm to pop out dents . Even ones i didnt notice .After i done the tank a part on the bottom (where your nuts go) was a lot smoother i just thought it was supposed to be like that .
That’s a great idea. I am going try some heat with the next one. Need to find a dented tank.
I’ve never heard of the innertube trick. Worth a try. I just had my pdr guy do a tank for me so I could minimize the paint area.
Didn’t think I could make it worse. I have a PDR kit and may use it later to get out some of the dings. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it!
I've seen videos of people using basketballs to push dents out on car panels
That will fix the dent
"You're going to need a bigger tube..."
😂🤣😂 gonna need more than that.
Well worth a try nice one.
Thanks for watching
@@motorcyclerewind blood pressure cuff works well or plastic bottle
It hurts to watch the bottom edge scratched to concrete when wet sanding it.
Good tip. I probably should have put something down to protect it. I need to replace the bottom trim. One side has it and one doesn’t. Thanks for watching!
Was thinking the same thing!
Dude... scraping that tank in the concrete
Thanks for watching.
how does the inner tube know what part of the tank is dented?
Very cool! I found it difficult to place the tube exactly where needed. You definitely had a firm dent so perfection can't be the goal but nothing ventured nothing gained!
Shooting in the dark, hoping the tube is in the right place. You’re right not looking for perfect just better. Thanks for watching.
I had a friend call and say he was yelling at his phone to put some soap on the inner tube to help putting it in. That would've helped sooner! 😀
Using a heatgun from a far while doing this I bet would do wonders!
That’s a great idea. The reinforcement behind the badge was the hold up. Would have been easy breezy without it. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it!
Boom!
It was so intense. I thought the tank was gonna explode. 💣
Years ago I removed all the dents from a freinds dented Honda 4 tank using different levers through the fuel cap hole
I have the levers just not very good at it. Thanks for watching.
Next time try heating the area with a heat gun
In your opinion, should I do it before, during or both.
@@motorcyclerewind Both. I've seen it done and it works great on any body metal including motorcycle tanks.
One more point. When I saw it done on a bike tank he put a huge stopper in the fuel fill hole and injected compressed air into the tank rather than using an inner tube like you did
Think heating the area with a heat gun before adding air would of helped. I've done many dent removals in tanks with air, I just seal the gas inlet and add air to the tank with very good results.
Thats a really good tip. Will give it a try on the next one!
👍@@motorcyclerewind
Could ya loop a piece of rope around the inner tube in order to be able to pull it back out?
That's a great tip for next time. That sounds like you are speaking from experience.Thanks for sharing!
Why not tap around the dent while the tank is under pressure?
I am sure that is what someone who knew what they were doing would do. I'm not that guy. LOL!! Next time I will give it a try. Thanks for watching!
Yes 👍
Nice to see Keri out in the shop with you....maybe some time this month we'll see you guys out riding :)
I am thankful Keri is willing to help me anytime. Definitely will be out riding together. I have to replace some leaky floats on her Hondamatic. Video coming soon. lol.
Why don’t you just take it to a painless dent guy, they’re quite good at this kind of thing.
I could. I just like to try to sort things out on my own. Sometimes it works. 🤣 I felt I could not make the tank any worse than what it was. Thanks for watching.
Okay now I guess 12
That’s a good guess. Thanks for watching.
Glue puller ?
I think using a hot glue puller is the way to go. Use a suitable custom made tool to carefully knock/help from the inside while pulling. There are many videos showing how to remove dents in cars that way.
I like the glue puller I have.
Thanks for watching
I tried this method once and ruined a CL tank that was pristine inside. The inner tube pushed out the opposite side-wall from the dent side of the tank. The tank deformed and is ruined unfortunatley. Just want to offer my experience if others are thinking of trying this method. Cheers
Thanks for sharing. Not sure I would do it again. Thanks for watching.
LOL, you know I won't!
@@motorcyclerewind
Same mistake he makes here. You forgot to heat up dent.
I have a 1974 Honda ST90 AND LOOKING FOR PARTS.ANY IDEA.CAN YOU HELP.THANKS@@motorcyclerewind
Heat up the dent!
That’s a great idea. Thanks for watching.
Pretty cool.. one thing though. Your voice is pretty low and the music is BOOMIN
Apologies. I was so happy I finished editing it and uploaded 18 hours before I missed it. I will try to edit it on TH-cam. Thanks.
Maybe put the tire inflator tube on the valve before losing it inside the tank…
That’s a great idea.
Ya needed some heat
Gonna try adding some heat next time.
I’ve used ice to remove a dent in a motorcycle tank.
I’ve heard about that. I’m gonna have to try it. Where’s my 🔨 😂. Thanks for watching.
Yeah but you'd need to very careful not to overfill it or your tank will be transformed into something that looks more like a Soccer ⚽ Ball😉
that's not how you PDR. Proper tools are key.
I agree 100%. Thanks for watching.
you could put at least 20 pounds and warm the tank. wear ear protection and goggles. no worries.
Definitely some eye and ear protection.
At least 30psi
Thanks for watching.
The size tube you need will not fit in the tank.
What size tube do you think would be best?
70
I think the tank is a 72 or 73.
Ill bet it explodes at about 35psi!
The tank or the tube?
Put a heat gun on it
That seems like the bit of advice I could have used while doing it. Will definitely add heat next time. Thanks for watching.
heat gun.
I will try that next time. Thanks
Your wife is more patient than me. I’m out!
Thanks for watching.
when will it explode .it,s an empty tank ,not c4 . calm your knickers down .
This guy wants lots of clicks so he builds drama any way he can. I don't like being played like this.
Any drama that was built was purely an accident. 🤣😂🤣 I am not that creative. Thanks for watching.
