Sorry about that. Didn't realize the owner passed away. The billet aluminum valve stems he sold were angled at 82 degrees which makes tire inflation super easy. Hopefully they will be offered again when they get their affairs in order.

Sorry... I use a digital tire pressure gauge made for motorcycles. Has a 90 deg head.

some of the reviews weren't very favorable. makes me wonder just a little. i put them on my wish list anyway.....we'll see if anyone has any additional info. i kind of like the home made bicycle pump part. kind of cool actually.

The location for those rear valve stems in relation to the spokes is a real PITA.
Why couldn't they come out a little to the side like the front? Ughh!!!

I made this...air it up and check pressure at the same time. Store it in Crown Royal bad in saddlebag.

That's what I use -- a rare affordably priced H-D part.
