Ain't that the truth Master! I went to a harley shop to buy a pressure switch for the brakes so the brake light works anyway cause I didn't know what model bike it was for he didn't want to know about it!! Even though I bought up the fact that I purchased a bike from them a few years ago and that I was thinking about buying another one... I might just buy another Triumph..

Anyone can make a sale, the goal is to make a customer.  Customers come back, customers dont beat you up on price, cause they realize there is more to this sale than just this item, customer service.  If I screw up I fix it (most likly free), if you screw up I fix it (maybe not for free but I'll fix it).
You can keep your CHANGE, I'd like to keep my DOLLAR.

I might mention something here about the aluminum AN fittinfs like Eals,Russell,Aeroquip and others sell. DO NOT overtighten them. They only require a very moderate amount of torque on them or they will deform and make them a real pain in the ass to remove  later. The nut will not want to easily turn on the fitting.Easy does it. No need to get out the cheater bar on them LOL!!!!! Also remember that on the smaller sizes they can be a bit fragile also. I'm considering using the steel ones in the future at least on the smaller ones for a more reliable and stronger connection. Not as blingy but IMO much better in many ways.

I'd like to point out another often overlooked subject and about as important as it can get also. CLEAN the hose out after assembling the fitting to the hose. There WILL be debris in it that will NOT just blow out with air. You MUST use solvent/carb cleaner/brake cleaner/good old Dawn Dish Soap---whatever turns you on ---to get rid of all those little rubber particles that are clinging to the inner wall. The first thing that happens with fuel injection lines if not properly cleaned is that you plug the injector screen with crap and you have a shitty running engine at best or at worst you lean out a cylinder or 2 on a boosted engine and watch it melt pistons.

Bottom line is -there is no such thing as too clean when fabbing liquid lines.
