I'm in trouble now....

mikesth · 08-12-2008, 12:00 PM

Well...stupid husband trick of the week...

The lovely wife and I just bought matchng Scion XD Rls1.0 - that's a story in itself, BUT, while cleaning up the garage and making room for the two cars, Nomad and Vulcan 900 Custom, I finished and hit the garage door closer---walk into the house---and hear---CRASH

Think to myself - Hmmm, that doesn't sound good. Go out to investigate and see that my @(*&^#^%$E OEM Nomad Exhaust has fallen of a shelf and put a nice dent in the wife's gas tank.

Damn :-[ So I call her and she is actually really good about it. First thing is I said I'd make it right and she knows I will. Damn :-[

She took it WAY better than I would have.

So, I am looking for a NEW OEM CANDY PLASMA BLUE 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 CUSTOM gas tank

I don't want used, or aftermarket or unpainted or any compromise.

Any help out there?

I know I used to get good OEM stuff for my Bandit from some name I would remember, like Bike Bandit, but t was something else....

Thanks in advance Maybe the day will get better. :-/

I'd definately try Ron Ayers first. I'm guessing about $500 for that baby.

**ringadingh** · 08-13-2008, 07:03 AM

Ive had days like that myself. It sucks when things like that happen. Good luck in your search.

mikesth · 08-13-2008, 07:57 AM

Big help guys - thanks!

Ron Ayers was the place I was trying to remember, but I'll try all options - thanks again!

How bad is the dent? are there any creases? if not you can remove it with dry ice or a hair dryer and air duster

mikesth · 08-13-2008, 10:14 AM

Dent is actually pretty deep - I tried the Dry-ice and it's just too big - thanks for the help though

FWIW, with the fuel gasket, the whole deal runs $520. and 7-10 working days - at least it's already painted. Got some touch-up paint pens from colorrite to take care of a couple minor scuffs she had anyway

It's an expensive day ::)

**Idaho** · 08-13-2008, 10:13 PM

As far as I'm concerned you are having a great day. ........ Your bride not only enjoys riding but also has HER OWN BIKE to ride along with you. Lucky stiff.

mcdaddy · 08-15-2008, 11:27 AM

Sounds like a comprehensive claim ::)

ridemslow · 08-16-2008, 02:24 PM

Hey check out Gadgets site, he has a way you can get that dent out using only dry ice. It'd be worth a try. :-/
