Was thinking the same myself. It really $issed me off. Looking at the connections and the hoses themselves not happy at all. Cheap $rap. Expect that from Harley but not TRIUMPH. This time taking everything apart to adjust valve we are going a lot slower and taking are time. Waiting on Ramair and Pipes from paul so in no big hurry. Both connectors are weak in construction. The hoses are made out of some kind of junk that feels funny. Have pictures of everything and a good mental picture so I guess it is time to fix it. Un$ucking beleiveable who chimed in while responding to you Claviger. Lemon Pledge can not fix this.
