I am also interested if anyone else has had issues with valve stems after installing these.

Looks like FOBO sells a cool set of chrome stems for these as well. Makes them easier to air up. Opps, I should have read all of the posts first...

Thanks for the information on pressure increases after a ride.

Nice to be able to monitor it at any time.

My pleasure sir... In respect to balance issues I can't contribute as I run the "Balance Beads" in mine that would of course compensate for any balance issues... I can't imagine them making that much of a difference though...

T-valve optional accessory available in our web store for purchase. Suitable for rim valve hole of diameter 11.3mm or 8.3mm. This requires installation at a tire shop. Refer to Specification section for fitting details.

Which diameter do we need for a 14 SGS rear rim?

On the way to work tonight, my phone start vibrating in my pocket. The rear tire had gone out of range (high). So I guess it works!

In other news, I see they are making a smart watch app.

11.3 mm is the answer.
I just installed the FOBO earlier. I haven't taken it for a ride yet, plan to do that later this evening. Stems got here as well and will install them at next tire change.

I didn't have the option of which tire stems to choose so I emailed the company and was told the ones they sent will fit my 2015 Road Glide CVO. I don't know if this size are automatically sent to US customers.

One PIA is anytime you make a setting change, like open pressure threshold, you have to remove and reinstall them. So far that's my only complaint.
