Tank update:
The dealer called today and said they have to order the decals for the tank and wanted to double check on my color combo. Has anyone heard this before? Do they order the tank and decals then have them sent somewhere to be applied and clear coated?

Every tank I unboxed at the dealership when i was parts mgr was 'pre-painted / pre-decaled' - you unbox, switch over the internals, and you bolt it to the bike. voila.

I got my new tank today. It seems to me that the the nylon, I can see at the filler neck isn't as bright as on my previous tank. It is almost off-white. My dealer in Ontario, Canada, said this was the 1st Monster they have done. Thanks Izaak,

Maybe the woman was just asking what color combo to order. I don't think they have the tank yet. It was just weird she did make it sound like she had to request the tank and the decals.

there is a separate part # for the tank (with decals) and the decals. she might be unaware of that.

I took my tank out today to dry it up. Hopefully in the next month or so I will be able to Caswell. However, in looking at the inside of the tank, I noticed some "'craters" or "pimples" see below. Is this normal? Will the Caswell coating still work even though my tank has these? Also, when I do the Caswell coating, is it ok to do a couple of coats? I am thinking of making it thicker by applying one coat, letting it dry, then applying another coat. Thoughts?

Mine had a bunch of those. They were soft and some had fluid trapped in them. I put it in a room for a couple of months with a dehumidifier. It shrank a little, but it never went back to normal and still didn't fit on the frame right. I wound up just getting a new one and coating it.

Yes, they do. The pimples result from manufacturing.

"pop" as many of those as possible so the coating goes inside it. i used an exacto knife and cut the thin surface away. if your tank is used, lance them and then let tank dry again. all of the pa6 tanks I've seen have them.
