I have the same compressor. Please report back when you get your hose modified. I have not found anything that will work yet.
Before continuing... This procedure WILL VOID THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. I take no responsibility for any damages to life or limb if you decide to follow these procedures! That being said, Q Industries makes a great little compressor. The MF 1050 (same as the M50) is a high volume (for a portable 12 vdc compressor) that outputs 2.5 CFM of air to a maximum pressure of 150 PSI... A couple of minor problems exist with it though. First is that the "business" end is a "screw on" tire fitting about 3 1/2 inches long. This fitting is fine for normal use on a car or a bicycle tire, but for a motorcycle or an RV it's too long to fit the awkward close clearances that these vehicles use. The second problem is that the Quick Disconnect (QD) is a non "standard" QD and will not work with standard air fittings or connections. The following pictures and text is my attempt to fix these problems.
