I dropped my bike at less the 5 miles per hour (slick concrete) and the head hit the ground, breaking the connector. It was a very slow leak and i didn't realize it until 60 miles later, once i got home.
A more reliable connector is worth the $ paid - in my book. although i replaced the broken one with a BMW OEM one. Also loosened the zip-tie that was holding it so tight which i believe may have contributed to the brittle connector breaking.
It was 4years old.
Hope this helps,

I ordered the new QD's from Bob's on monday morning, they were at my door Tuesday afternoon.
I was somewhat surprised as the male connector was metal, but the female connector was still the old plastic.
I was AMAZED at how easy the metal part cllicked into place, enough so that I was sure it was going to leak when I started the bike.
I still have an all plastic QD on one line, but not for long. REAL impressed with the Colder metal male connector.

[/quote]Not unreasonable - I can't recall hearing of the female connector breaking. The male connector is somewhat fragile, due to the design and O ring groove. Had one of those break..[quote]

FWIW - you can buy Viton O rings for about 100/$10.00 if you shop around a bit.. you want what is typically called size "011" in the O-ring world. Get Viton, it's gasoline resistant.

Buy 100 and share them with your friends.. (I always carry about 10 in my tank-bag, so I won't need them..)
