Tucson, AZ | I'm sure most of you have found that checking the air pressure in our tires is a bear to do. Does anyone know where to buy 90 degree valve core extenders?
TIA |

Be carefull on what you put on the valve stems. I know from experience that they will cause a valve stem problems.
I had a front one go on me at 60mph.

Tavares, Fl | Like on my other bikes, when I put a set of tires on the Vision I'm going to have new 90 degree valve stems put on aimed back at a 45 degree angle. I already have the valve stem caps that show when the pressure drops below 35 lbs...That way I only have to look down to see if they're low..... |

Tucson, AZ | I had a set of those caps that glow red when the tire pressure is below ten percent of the normal pressure. One day I went outside and one of the tires was flat. I took them off and no more problems. |

| Don't use stem extenders on a MC, they are extremely dangerous. I've replaced tough to get to valve stems at tire change with the 45 degree metal stems aimed to the rear.
This said I have a Harley SHORT straight style tire pressure gage and it works like a champ. Now for ease of access: tip your vision over on the tip-overs and it becomes very easy. |
