Anyone know what this is?
I removed the fuel tank from my 09 FLHTCU to run new speaker for the new biketronics BT-474 pods. When I put the tank back in place, I found this part on the floor right under the bike. Anyone know where it belongs?

I don’t know what it is called, but it sits against the frame (one on each side) between the front bolt tabs.
They keep the tank from shifting from side to side.
With the tank off the slightest touch will knock them off the bike.
You need to pull the tank off and put that piece back!
Make sure the other one is still in place.

It is called a Fuel Tank Brace .
It was part of a recall (NHTSA Recall Campaign Number: 09V-457).
Attached is a copy of the service bulletin which shows its placement.
