Well I did it, I went and bashed my nice steel tank on my 90 DR650S, what a noob.

Anyway, finding a replacement tank on an ancient bike is almost impossible.

It doesn't leak, but my pride has taken a beating.

I was up on Black Mtn Romona, stalled, drifted backwards lost my footing and bam, there goes tank and front brake lever.

I guess I could try pulling the dent and then bondo, any suggestions?

Leave it alone and keep on truckin...... My bike is a little over a year old and looks like its 10! Ever have a new pair of white sneakers? They're so white they glow and you need someone to step on them so they don't look so freakin new! Same kind of deal IMHO. Think of it as a badge of honor.

You can probably get a plastic tank for a DR650. I don't think they've changed much over the years.

Otherwise, I posted a thread in "equipment and technical forum" about fixing a metal tank a few months ago.
