I talked with John at the beginning of last season and he shut down his dyno. A few weeks ago he said he's done and he is selling his dyno. I have no idea if he is going to keep a shop open or not. Definitely worth asking.

I sent John an Email but haven't heard back. Kinda looks like he might be out o business. Are there any other disconnect fittings that work well? Also, are there any other tips to minimizing the mess the first time?

Put 2 little vice grips on, and then snip the line in between. Easy to drain once it's off and then use new fuel line. Less than a buck/ft.

Here's the best quick disconnect for the under frame hose.

Pop it open, and not a drop comes out.

Am I correct in thinking if I get a quick disconnect that I need a 5/16 barb for my 04 Road King?
