Can you share a picture of your setup with the quick connect?
Thanks already, niv
I have a similar setup. I also love the look of the magnum crossover line as it would match my cables but after pulling the tank a couple of times much prefer the functionality of a quick connect. I have thought about getting two of those crossover lines and putting a quick connect in the center to keep the functionality while getting the looks. I think it might be a little too long though so I might just reach out to magnum to see if they will make me a crossover with my disconnect in the center. Conveniently they are located right here in my town.
Here is a pick of my current setup. I just put a little Taylor cable ShoTuff chrome loom on the lines as a temporary solution.

Anyone know where those could be bought from non-medical supplies? The above link doesn't show prices, but I am sure they are pricey...
Best regards, niv
Seems like you are going to have a lot going on with a such a short fuel line. I would rather have the cleaner look of a simple stainless braided fuel line like shown by the original poster.
That thought had crossed my mind too. But in RockerE's picture it looks ok and not too cramped. It's not that I take my tank off every other week. I am torn between this setup and just getting a fuel line to drain the tank (as per above) and some Oetiker clamps for spare or the braided X-over line. But it is appealing not having to drain the tank...
Another question: The braided line as per the original post, how does it connect to the "nipplies" of the fuel tank? I assume you don't just slide it over...

Best, niv
The only other thing about putting the disconnect in is that you have to lengthen the fuel line out quite a bit so you have enough room to take it apart. Look at RockerE's picture and notice how much longer the line is.
The braided line in the original post just slides over the barbs and when tightened it bulges the rubber ring to seal against the barb.
There's no room for the hose with quick connector between the bottom of the gas tank and top of the front rocker cover, so I ran the hose in front of the frame at the front, and covered it with plastic wire look heat shield tubing. It looks pretty slick if I do say so myself, and the functionality is so worth it.
I never took specific pics of the setup, but you can see it from the side in this picture. I'll grab a few shots tomorrow during the day, and update the post/thread.
