I bought a bike that had one installed. Didn’t like it. You can have it for shipping

The Valkyrie is sensitive to any mods that might impede gravity-powered fuel flow, resulting in fuel starvation.  Too-long fuel line segments, any dips/rises/loops in the fuel line, most fuel filters even those designated for gravity fed fuel systems, fuel solenoids with small orifices, and so on.  I recall fuel disconnects having the problem as well.

And this is the reason the OE fuel line is a bit of a PITA to unhook and hook.  But any longer is likely trouble you don't want.

A agree with all the negative comments. I do believe you could eliminate the loops and carefully fit the quick release nipples to the petcock and fuel line. Careful measuring and it may work. I have a Pingel so disconnecting the fuel line is easy

I had one of these installed years ago and it resulted in fuel starvation. Mine was installed less than a week before I removed it and installed a fresh OEM fuel line.

I think I’m going to go with the voices of experience here and stay away from this.  Thank you all for the input, and I appreciate the offer Jeff.

Just my 2 cents why do u need fuel disconnect hoses when you have a petcock? Fuel injection quick disconnect are nice.
