In this month's "Rider" magazine, there were some "tech tips" for Triumph
owners, including metal replacement quick disconnects for the fuel tank.
Don't remember all the details, but they are for a Duc, from "fast by
Ferracci" and cost about US$10. I'll dig up the article tonight and post
tomorrow.

Before you spend the 100.00 for metal you might go to a BMW shop and take a
look
there. I work at a bmw shop and I have on had one fail and that was when I
was
disconnecting it. I have not heard of one failing while on the road. Cost
should
be in the 30.00 range and o rings are about .30 cents. as opossed to the
8.00 I
gave for the triumph connectors. Yes the bmw connectors are plastic but they
do
not fail from what I have seen.

it's
