Thanks for sharing that info...

Both times I tried, using two different quick connects, I sat there looking at the angles and the space available and I just couldn't see how to make it work... and also have it look good....

In the end, I just don't find replacing the hose each time that big an issue... of course I now have a lot of practice....

I agree, great info with clear pics, you gotta love this forum!

Got the quick disconnect yesterday, only two days, what a great ebay seller. Got a fuel line from the indy HD mechanic here, but I realized he gave me a 1/4" when I got home, so have to go back today and get the 5/16". If the weather drops from the sunny spring we had so far I can attach it, right now I'm too busy riding every day.
