Fuel Connector Leaking HELP

First off the recall is done but the connectors to the fuel tank still leak.  The recall only replaces the Male connector and not the one in the tank.



I have heard that there are other connectors out there that are better and both male and female are metal.  Where do I get them?



The bike has been to the dealer 5 times for this shit and I need help to get it resolved once and for all!



Thank you much for the help!
Cheers,



David

I see thet Ferracci has fuel connectors at a good price but not sure which ones I need.

Which side is leaking, the male or female? I developed a leak on the male side, turned out to be the o-ring on it.

This is where I picked mine up. Pricey but I haven't had any issues with them. Be very careful not to nick the o-rings or like the factory ones, they will leak.

Yeah team triumph is as good of a deal.  I will get one there.  Every time I return to the dealer they send me home with a fuel leak.  Time to fix it for good.



Do you need a special tool for the hose clamps?

I managed with a tiny blade screwdriver and a pair of pliers. The fittings come with great instructions.
