looking at them they probably can be - that they are on a radious makes it more difficult but someone with a clue and with a bit of filler afterward could probably do a good job.
2 questions though:
A. Is it cheaper to fix the tank or to see if you can find a used one in good shape and sell yours off?
B. Since you said it was a track bike only now - why bother?

they can do tack studs to pop that out but you have to take everything apart and clean the tank, etc. first. just clean it off and touch it up if it bothers you that much - or just find another tank. new toys look good  _________________ Ἢ τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ τᾶς www.WickedRacing.com - Go Fast Parts & Gear for Riders and Their Motorcycles PM me for "TrackWhore" special discounts

Always loved the sport attacks....Kyle got me hooked...will be changing to a DOT eventually now that its a track bike. They last forever and stick awesomely!!! Madski....I will probably just sand it down and leave the dents in there

sounds like a winner... my 675's tank had some dings from the previous owner - i was gonna mess with fixing them but ended up just taking some touch up paint to them, you can see that that's what I did but it looks good enough for me.
