90 Degree Valve Stems
I have a 2016 FLHXS with Impellar contrast chrome wheels from an Ultra. I am getting ready for a new rear tire and would like to go with a 90 degree valve stem. My dealer said I am the first to inquire about going this route and does not seem to recommend it. Has anyone done this, what brand did you use and do you know the correct size? Is it recommended or do I just stick with the pain the *** straight rubber stem?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I went with 45 degree metal valve stems. Don't remember the brand but my HD dealer sold them. They were about $12-$13 a piece. Have had them in for about 10K miles no issues and alot eaiser to check and add air.

This is what my dealer did to my rear, 45 degree stem. I've used these since 2012. No issues. The dealers had them in stock. Sorry, don't know what brand.

The Bridgeport stems are 83 degrees and very easy to get to if you point them to the right side of the bike. I've seen some install them in the direction of rotation, and then complain they're hard to get to. I've put these on ever bike I've owned, including my race bike, and installed them for several friends. IMHO, best bang for the buck cheap enhancement you can do.
