    If I can find a place around here for $100 to paint it and pull the dents I'm gonna go that route. I was thinking the same thing about that much pressure. I figure I'll take it somewhere and have them paint it and I'll seal the inside and it will be good for another 26 years.

    I have 3 very dent fee tanks that say otherwise ...like is aid...it will get the large dents out quick, but you'll still end up having to do something with the smaller dents... Thats why you need to use the blower fitting, once the dent pops out, there's no need for any more pressure. I can honestly say though that I've put 125 PSI with no problem.

    dents give the trike personality , air pressure is a easy method ,and doesn't always require fresh paint , the stud gun method is good but will need paint , i would check with local bodyshops they may hook you up fairly cheap. my 250es had a yamaha tank bungied on for a year .macthed the ducktape seat and 1 third plastics ziptied together what a trail buster, no worrys man . i do miss that tank,trike but let a bro have it ,to fix his clean es with bad moter
