dent in platinum pipe

[soldsoul4foos]

alright,

I hit a small pipe in tall grass and put a small dent....maybe size of a silver dollar...about 1/2 deep....in my pro circuit pipe on the side. It's in plain view, easily accessible.

does anyone know of a way to pull out the dent?

does a dent this size affect performance much? I don't notice any difference that i can tell, but i'm not a super experienced rider either.

is drilling and pulling them welding the hole closed an option? :fft:

thanks for any input.

no, it should not do a thing, as long as it is on the side. that may seem like a big dent but it is not that bad. It should not affect the proformace at all.

I think DB magazine did a test on how much of a dent it took to start affecting performance. If I remember correctly...it took a sizable dent to alter Dyno results....I would just leave it alone....I'm sure it is only one of many to come if your ride in the rocks.

Put on a pipe protector to cover it up as well.

If you ever do decide to weld on a pipe just remember that it's full of flamable spooge. I have never seen one blow up but it might be possible. I did see one backfire and throw flames out of the end scaring the holy *!$@ out of my friend.
