I need a tank!

Ease

83 XJ650RK, 77 TS-250
Long and short... My "new" driveway is uneven and full of potholes, and I'm an idiot. I laid the bike on it's sidestand and (since it was warming up) didn't shut it off and put it in gear. The bike rolled out the front tire and whammo, down on it's side (luckily onto the lawn)... HOWEVER, the f'ing clubmans weren't adjusted properly, evidently, and the left-side controlls made a nice sized dent in the tank... nice sized enough that I don't feel I can pull and fill it.

I'm looking for either a tank for a 650 seca, or a nice cafe replacement... my only issue is that I don't want to have to re-upholster the seat so it has to end at the same point.

I'm also considering saving up some loot and maybe going the alloy way - partially because I really like the look and partially because I don't want to have to paint the damn thing again ;D (that's a good excuse to spent money, right!??).

I have a brother living in the UK (Scotland) who is coming home in december, so if anyone has a source in Europe I'm up for that route as well (Ms. Alliekat perhaps ? :))
 
Aw Dude... that sucks..
Where is the dent located?... Could you possibly hammer it in to make it look like knee-inserts? Do both sides like on this thread:

I guess at this point, you have nothing to lose!!... Why not hammer it in...

Yeah I wish, it's located at the front of the tank... My tank allready had knee inserts :(. Maybe if I build a chopper I can hammer in all the way up and back like an indian larry dish:
