My last acquisition ('87 VFR700 Interceptor) has two dents in the tank - but no leaking, so I've left it alone for now. But in the back of my mind, I wondered what approach I would take to repair. Your post basically showed me a legitimate option - so thank you.

Also, I have a '75 XL175 that is in good running condition but will need some cosmetics. Doesn't have the power of your 250, but still peppy enough for getting around when I feel like taking a spin. Really fun bike.
