Where is this from. Its 11 years ago and only affects 251 across all models.
I had to check the date - Thought it was April 1st. !!!

I am posting all Sportster and Buell recalls. It will take me a while so you will see these kinds of threads popping up form time to time until I finish.

Sorry about that Bert - I can now see your index and it now makes sense.
