The bad part about them is that sometimes the "dry brake" parts will restrict fuel flow.  

Again, this is something you find out about after using them too...

Make sure it's fully latched - I had dry break type QD seperate just enough to stop the flow during a team sprint race on my wife's MZ, I though I broke her bike.  

That said, it's still on there and there's one on her TZ as well.  With how many times I pull the tank on those bikes for jetting changes it's pretty much a nessecity.
