HML i see we are going to have to talk privately.....so i can talk you out of your money properly!!!  seriously if i can help or give some guidance let me know.

[1Trickydick]

My last bike, I was impressing myself with how quickly the windscreen came off, and how bad a$$ my ride looked without the windscreen.  Then I went to put it back on....  
Windscreen+18 inch drop onto front fender=1 REALLY mad new bike owner.  Three chips on the front fender, but no dents....

If there is no sharp crease you might get it out with the heat and ice method. I'd be careful with a heat gun, I'd get the wife's hair dryer on high and get the area pretty warm them use the dry ice. I've seen this done on hail damage before, but it was a nice smooth dent, not sharp creases.

looks like the fender has a crease in it. Sorry guys the dry ice trick wont work, in fact heat with the dry ice can damage the clear coat. Please dont try this at home!!!lol

Yep.  There is a crease.  Not a big one, but a crease nonetheless.

[REGGAB]

Oh and it will give you a nasty burn if you touch it...

Don't ask me how I already know that.

A crease is doom...

[REGGAB]

Unfortunately, we've all been there Henry.  I know your disgusted just the same as we all would be.  Wish I could help in giving you an idea to fix.  

Well.........I don't know about everyone else, but I do some really stupid chit alot!  Thought I was gonna get off easy since I had the fender protector on.  That thing is worthless.  Guess I'm gonna hafta start wrapping the bikes in bubble wrap, so they won't be victimized by my clumsiness.   

[REGGAB]

No biggie because of the meds for your bad wheel?   

[REGGAB]

Holy crap!!! This chit IS Rocket Science after all!!!

Hoist!

Yeah man.........Hoist's Law in reverse.   Weighing my options. 

[REGGAB]

Fancy talk for"it is still gonna cost me"...

Whatever I decide to do it going to cost me in both money and time.  Factor in quality, and the other two are compounded............exponentially.  That's whyI want to make an informed decision.

Now THAT would suck!

The dent has a crease..........I'm thinking the paint will break...........not good.

[REGGAB]

A crease is doom...

Yessir..........will likely need to be painted............or replaced.

Well if you have to repaint your fender you might think about making some weld on brackets, gets rid of the rivets and you can drop the fender down on the tire and hey the fender level.
