I have a full fairing 03-04, 636...so I think I'll go with the Flat top, but not sure if I want the lip rounded like the pic of stubbz shown above or squared off like celflex's 675?

graveyard doesnt do the rounded style for the dent just flat style but he can do a lot with the back lip to put curve into it im sure. 2 different companies and completely different work and outcome. both do amazing work tho for sure. how fats ur wallet and what style you like best is deciding factor.

false, graveyard will do anything you like, he will customize your tank to how ever you want it to! trust me!!! and the best thing is no waiting to see when its done, not recieving texts back like alot of other companys. Once he starts your tank you will recieve picture by picture to make sure what hes doing is what you want. He will make numerous lines on your tank to show you which one you want him to cut,shape or mold.

Sorry, when I said rounded I was referring to the shape of the lip as shown below.

GRAVEYARD DOES IT ALL! just tell him what you want! and he does do rounded tanks also not just rounded lips.

graveyard already raised his prices cuz hes doin so much work its not worth it for him. i highly dought he has a english press or equipment to stretch and shape to a perfect rounded contour and willin to bet he wouldn't and probly couldn't do it for same money as its way more work, would be pointless for him, i know he's not gettin rich off doin tanks but losing money is a different story. i'm sure there are other ways he can shape the material also. the 2 companies are making tanks completely different from one another at this point. graveyard has skills and does amazing work no dought thats not at all what im stating. different breeds bro thats all. i agree with ya 100% on all the communication stuff but dont think c4 would be far behind either. graveyard has definitely proven to have top notch service for makin sure you get exactly what you want thats for sure. i've said it 100 times i love the craftsman ship he does with his tanks but will never see a flat tank on my bikes, thats all just my personal.

i gotcha, that he can do easy all in your choice for sure. i've seen a number of different styles of tanks and different models but all are flat havent seen anything rounded yet but if he can do it i wanna see some. The R6 tanks he's done look sweet, lot of it boils down to the model of bike for the tank how it ends up also.

Honestly a normal dent with htmoto kick is the best IMO and I've ran both
