Anyone besides me have their fuel tank bracket crack?

Check my gallery for pics.

Yes.  so many in fact, there was a recall for it.  I would say yours didn't get done.  Have your dealer check the VIN. 

That recall was for the brackets cracking the tank, and spilling gas on a hot engine.  I had that recall done.

 This spring the mounting tabs cracked off the bracket.

 If you dont want to pay to replace it, mail it to me with return shipping and I'll weld it up for you and send it back. I'll turn it around over night.

 Thanx, I appreciate that.  I welded it already.

Still, it shouldn't have cracked.

damn cheap Harley parts, you pay top dollar and they're still junk,  when will they learn to make a quality product?

Are you still using the rubber cushions to dampen the vibration?

Items #12 and #14 plus two #17 are the dampers the folks above have inquired about.  If you have 'em all the bracket shouldn't have broken or at least that is the theory.
