How many forum members are actually affected by this recall?

And does anyone know of anyone who had a problem with the mentioned trouble?

Nope, don't affect me either. But I got a question about it.

If yer in a crash that causes the tank mount to distort enough to cause a fuel leak, are you really gonna be on it when the fuel ignites? I would tend to believe the rider may just be on the other side (or burried deep within it) of the object he/she hit when it does...

I thought the same thing when I read it. Odds are the rider is 100ft away from wherever the bike is when it made impact.

Mine is on the list. 2010 RK.

I'm going to wait and see what the braces look like before I have them put on.

I am thinking if I hit something hard enough to bend the tank mount, I will not be anywhere around the bike should it catch fire.
