About halfway down the page.

Makes no sense, if the thing will clear one rotor it will clear 2 ??

FOBO Bike sensors will not fit Harley Davidson motorcycles with side mounted valve stems or dual rotors. They will work on front wheels with single rotor only. Clearance must be checked before riding.

WTH? My Limited has dual front rotors.
Disregard I found it: http://www.fobobikesales.com/index.php? However, this guy claims they can: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Harley-Fobo-...-/361374605341 In addition, this FoBo site does not say anything about HD. https://my-fobo.com/Product/FOBOBike

They work just fine on my RGS. I've had them for a couple weeks now and I think they're great. I ride 6-7 days a week and it's really nice to check my phone for proper pressure instead of manually checking or kicking the tires. Now instead of checking them once a week or more I can check them daily.

BTW, I set my pressure at the HD recommendations (36f-40r). The sensors set the over-under pressures to allow for changes in temperature. The cold pressure is the only one to worry about, unless the hot pressure is below the cold recommendation.

Thanx, I did some research and P/N 1581 is offered by: http://www.fobobikesales.com/index.php?controller=order I have P/N 1574 which I purchased from: https://secure.wingstuff.com/cart.php I guess I should just install them, but have been too lazy this weekend to do anything else but ride.

I think those part number differences are the black & silver versions.

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.
Ordered a set of those t-valves today---will get the FOBO units towards spring time!! Sure should be easier then checking the air pressure on my knees!

I dont bar mount my phone, I just started a habit of checking FOBO app before and after each ride. I did feel the vibration in my pocket when my rear raised up over threshold.
Getting to the rear stem on a bagger is a bitch. I dont believe many guys are getting down and manually checking the pressure like many brag they do.
