I'd try to get a headlight off a 919 hornet, as it is a dual bulb modern
headlight disguised as an old school round one. You could try posting on the
wanted section of their forum.

919, or 599? Google tells me that there are 919 riders swapping 599 lights
onto their bikes because of the dual bulb quality. :p
Thanks for the suggestion, it's leading places.

I would be a little concerned with pressurizing the whole tank in the hope that
a dent would “pop out”. What makes you think the dent is the weakest shape in
the tank? Maybe something else would give out first. Maybe compressed air and
this “Dent Out” tool would do it.
I actually thought that both the Hawk GT and the Hornet used the same style
light.

I agree. That is why I was asking. My youngest works at a classic car
restoration company. I have thought about going there to see if they have that
particular tool. If not, I could probably make one here at the shop.

I think the metal is too stiff. I will most like have do it mechanically. If

Word of caution, in the salvage yard near my house is a 650 burnt to
smithereens. Story is that the owner pulled a dent out of the tank but
drilling holes and using a slide hammer. He then bondo'd the holes shut and
painted over it. After a while the gas ate through the bondo, leaked fumes
into
That is my question also. I have also heard concerns with splitting the tank
where the stampings are attached.

This is from the description for the 2003 919 Hornet:

you could modify it to illuminate both low and high filiments when on high.

It looks like the “Dent Out” kit uses hot glue that doesn’t make a hole, or
“injure” the paint too much.

Unfortunately no ride report for the HDT bike but 89 MPG and can do 90 MPH
isn't bad despite only 33 HP and 38 FT/LBS.
The MCN report was not favorable at all for the european bike.
