RE: [ST] But now fuel is pissing all over my garage floor.....

Thanks for the info (once again) all.  Called up Team Triumph and ordered the kit.  I don't like paying for the parts, but to have the spring valve back and all 4 bits being metal instead of 2 plastic really appeals to me.  Then, there's the waiting for the dealer to get the parts anyway.  (Un)fortunately, I'm traveling for work back down to the Newark, NJ area Thursday through Monday, so I won't be riding anyway...

In a previous email, Richard Marcus stated:

It was the cheaper way out for Triumph. Only the males were breaking, so 
why replace the females.

The only difference is the lack of an automatic shut off when you 
disconnect them.

I put in the TT kit AFTER mine were replaced on recall. I didn't like 
the idea of having the breakable plastic females with the rigid males. 
(Wow! There's an innuendo in there somewhere.)

Yep. Or "Babe Magnet Blue." At the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel (NJ 
bound) where hundreds, if not thousands, of bikes a day pass through, I 
got pulled over by a female cop who only told me that I had the best 
looking bike she had ever seen.
