Anyone using FOBO?
I'm thinking of getting the FOBO TPMS for my Ultra Limited.
Will I have a problem with the standard rubber valve stems? How big of a PIA is it to add air? What other concerns are there?
Thanks

I used the FOBO on my bike and ended up having to replace my rear valve stem. Not sure if it was related. The dealer said it was deformed and replaced under factory warranty. I am afraid of putting them back on now. They worked great when they were on the bike. Adding air isn't a problem. They just have a jam nut holding them on. I am also interested if anyone else has had issues with valve stems after installing these.

I am using them for about 2 months, and I really like them. I got about 3 alerts since I installed them. To add air is not any harder than removing the cap. I have rubber stem valve on both wheels

I ordered them. The guy at fobobikesales.com assures me that I shouldn't have a problem. He also said if I don't want to use the locking nut, it isn't a problem. It is only a anti theft device.

I just got it and the SW on my old G2 is not compatible with the FOBO app, I will have to use my wife's new iphone to check the air for awhile. I'm going to install the caps tomorrow and see how it works.

I added the T stem to my back tire when I installed the new tire. The front tire is the stock rubber valve stem, but I will replace it when I install a new tire there as well. I have only had an issue when I traveled out to Colorado from Louisiana. I kept getting low front tire warnings, but the pressure was still showing near perfect. I am not sure if it was temp related or elevation. I had to mute my phone at night so it didn't wake me up with the alert....LOL.
