Crashed my bike... Cry
I'm weighing my options. Buy a new tank or fix the one I have. That being said, does anyone know someone here in SoCal that can fix some small dents and repaint? A good job but on the cheaper side. A price range would be nice as well. I've got a price for a nice newer tank so I want to see which one might be cheaper.

Speeddog, I'm sure you know someone. So maybe you can give me a ballpark? And I'm sure Duc-Stew knows someone as well but seeing as he's planning a big move I'd rather not bother him with the small stuff.

Any help is gratefully appreciated  chug

Bring it by the shop, and my shop-mate Jim can quote it.

He does the *real* painting, he can't quote it without seeing it.

It is right! I love the paint. I talked to him about it already, I think I'm gonna get it in the next couple of weeks.  Grin

I had a minor crash or "get off" as it's sometimes called on the ACH ride on Sat.  Cry
Some cosmetics, mostly ego. Hopefully I'll be riding again soon! You need to come with us next time arai! I think we were planning something a while back right?!

If you're closer to OC, Jake's Collision in Garden Grove. Ask for Steve.
