Ok Ssitruc (Curtis) pm'd me and I called him. As I suspected, it was already in there, just did not know where to look. So I took a couple pics to show everyone where and what it looks like. The top pic if from pressing the info button (front part of right turn signal switch) and in the upper right hand corner (where my finger is pointing) the word "more" is lit. Not sure if it was before this upgrade. Press the "more" button and the second pic is the TPMS display screen.
Special thanks to Curtis and all the others that gathered the info necessary for these upgrades.
I did not know the 6.5Gt system was capable of doing this BUT, I am glad I did not, because..
The first screen shot of the "Info screen" is where I keep my at for going down the road.
This way I can see the Oil Pressure (and my oil temp gauge) and my Phone is on the Tire Pressure via the FOBO Bike 2 system.
ya I like to know what is going on at all times :-)
I am gathering what I need to add TPMS to my 17 street glide this winter, but I haven't found an online source for these "bushings" yet. Does anyone have a link they can share? if not, one of these day's i'll have to prioritize it and try calling FOBO.
Edit: I think the smaller ones from this kit may work, but im going to have to take the tpms sensors to napa to find out https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NTH90431

This is what I used. You only use the "T" shaped bushing provided. I got this set because I used the other two 90* on rims on a trailer that uses deep quad tires.
edit: your link would probably work as well.

Yea the GT display will display it, but that function can only be turned on with the later model of BCM. You could still install the TPMS, and just toggle back and forth when so desired. I usually only look at mine when I start a ride. If I suspect my tires might be a tad low, I check with my 12v compressor before getting on the bike. That's only if it sat for a couple weeks.

Those small ones should work. Besides the FOBO bushings, I also picked up some bushings from Lowes for a couple bucks, I think they were Hillman. The diameters are good (5/16" to 7/16" I believe), but they are a little too long (about a 1/2" I think), so I cut some of the length off of them. You want the bushing to sit in the hole (from the inside), but not stick out the other side so they do not interfere with the valve stem sitting snug against the rim, and its o-ring seating good.
For your 2017, you should just need the bushings (unless your rims already have 8.3mm holes), the TPMS sensors/stems, and somebody to program it.... and you'll have TPMS displaying on you radio (GT or GTS). But without replacing your gauges you won't have it also displaying on the gauges too (on the Trip A, Trip B, etc screen and no "Dummy Light"), if you even care about that. It's nice, but definitely not required unless you just want it.
Besides the bushings and new tires I think I've got everything else figured out. Does anyone know if the radio will display a message or chime when a tire goes low while driving?
I read, somewhere a long time ago, where a guy said a screen popped up on the head unit, similar to the "Low Fuel" pop up screen... but I have never actually seen it, and I have never had a situation, so far, where it should have happened either (knock on wood).
I tried to go back and find that thread, but... people started trying to put TPMS on the 2014-2018 models back in like 2018, so I can't find that reference...
I guess one could test it by riding the bike a couple miles, just to be sure the system was "awake" and monitoring, then pull back into the driveway, leaving the bike running, and quickly removing the valve stem core from the front tire (to simulate loosing air as quick as possible), give it a minute... and see what happens.
