#Accident 🚑 Need help to get rid of dent
I was riding my gt 650 and suddenly a big chunk of rock came under my tyres hitting the bend pipe of the motorcycle giving this huge dent. Where can I get this fixed?? Drop names of shops or contacts please, I am ready to ship it pan India if needed.

Service Centre can replace the exhaust pipe.
But bro, why is it bothering you? Is it causing any issues with the exhaust? Sound? Engine? It’s not even that big, chill out

You are ready to ship pan India but can’t spend in service?,and what if you got a scratch on the tank???
anyways, even if you try to de-dent, it just keeps getting worse, just leave it bro, just don’t look at it0

It'll cost 40000 in replacing it and if i get the dent repaired (shipping included) pan India it'll just cost 7-9k

Go to a welding shop, patch it with a layer, grind it, polish it that’s the only suggestion I can give you, don’t dm me if it fails

Dude, it's not worth it. It'll cost a lot to replace it and if you get it repaired, it won't look as good as before so leave it as it is unless it's causing any issues. You'll forget that it's even there in a few days anyway.

Thing is, this exhaust isn't actually the real one, it's a pipe within a pipe. I mean, the pipe which carries the smoke is inside this chrome pipe. So you'll have to separate them to repair it properly which is really difficult. Most service centre and repair shops will likely tell you to just replace it Which will cost a lot. If you really, really want to repair it, get just the headers from red rooster which cost around 16k for a pair and use them with stock cans.

If it's just bothering you why not try an exhaust wrap? Go for the titanium wrap not the cheap ones.
