I had a minor get-off this week which resulted in my tank being dented, can this be fixed or will I need to replace it? Open to suggestions and recommendations.

Thanks

its only sheet metal, it can be fixed unless you want a new one. They are expensive new.

i have the same thing on my spare thank. i dont care if its got small dimples, but its a big dent. I really thought about getting some metal rods and welding it to the tank and giving it a big yank. Would look cool with dimples (considering how my bike looks already!)

+1.  You will get your tank back better than new, hinge reinforced and inside treated with POR 15.  The crease will not be a problem for him.
