BMW R1100GS Fuel Quick Disconnects - Anyone used these?

[ClassicBertha]

Hi All,

I want to fit Quick disconnects for the fuel lines on my R1100GS and found these below on Eblag. Has anyone used these in the link below and can you recommend them? I see Motorworks do CPC connectors but they work out at £100 per line which is a bit steep. I am looking at other options. I am in the UK.

Many thanks

Bradley

Are you referring to the eblag or Motorworks ones?

I bought two of the quick disconnects via Louis Motorrad (£59.01 delivered). They arrived swiftly and don’t seem bulky.
As suggested by Ser3J here,

Smoke from top of exhaust…. Thread​

They work great no problems…..

I have just fitted the white plastic ones from Motorworks and they seem to be very good quality, I was pleasantly surprised.

Thank you all for your replies. I have noticed plastic ones have been recommended. Do these not go brittle and break? That's why I was looking for metal connectors to prevent this. Please share your thoughts. Thanks again for your help. Bradley

The Louis Moto ones I linked to are Metal and rated to 30 bar I think it said £30 a pair thats way cheaper than the E bay ones !!

Thanks DrFarkoff and Moto bikemad. These look good and well priced. Can one of you confirm, do they not need the rubber o ring to seal? Nothing is mentioned in the blurb?

They don’t require any other o-ring. I fitted two - as mentioned below £60 delivered.
