I used one of these and it leaked. it was a black Motion Pro ( I believe) Are you guys using this with fuel injected bikes?
I have an 07 Road Glide and would love to use one, but the thought of it leaking over a hot head keeps me away from a purchase.

IIRC, the Motion Pro fittings are plastic and I would expect them to leak; don't use plastic.

I am using this on a fuel injected softail but the disconnect cannot be located over the cylinder head because of the way the nipples from the fuel tank are oriented. I do use the Goodridge on a carbureted touring model; as shown in my previous post. Never had a leak but the rocker box cover doesn't get hot enough to make me worry. If the leak is bad enough to no evaporate on the rocker box and drips down to the exhaust, still not a big concern. Typical exhaust temps at the head pipe to head connection are less than 400* and unleaded fuel needs to see near 500* to self ignite. A bigger problem is how to fix the leak out in east bum****, so carry a piece of fuel line to replace the QD fitting or carry a spare fitting to get home. If cylinder head temps are hitting 400*+, that's another problem.

Gotcha,
Thanks for the reply.
Does anyone have a pic of how they mounted this on a fuel injected tank?

As far as pressure go's in the cross over line, make sure you loosen gas cap first!
Don't ask how I know this!

And for the others, I have this general setup on a Shovel, carb Evo and Fuel injected Twin Cam, works well on all of the them. With the exception of the one noted above that I am replacing, I have been able to remove the tanks from the bike for extended periods of time while doing other work, did not drain tank and they did not leak. Should be setup like this format he factory.
