I should have actually offered some help with the OP's questions. This dent will be a hard one to tube block out. It's located in the thick section of the butted tube, is real close to the shift bosses and fairly large. Were this frame mine I would confirm alignment and wait for a repaint before doing anything about the dent. Andy
