need help finding a offset valve stem
Ok guys & girls. Here's my situation. Got an 07 LR with spoked rims. Got a Metzeler 17 " rear tire. I got it tubed because of the spokes.
Anyway, HD put the hole for the valve stem right in the center of the rounded rims.Front I can get to; the rear it annoying. It's a real PITA to check pressures because of the small clearance on either side. I do have a real small guage, but I'd sure like to rig something. Seems like there are a lot of 'offset ' valve stems for the 16 inch, but not for the 17 in. I really don't want to 're-invent' the wheel (ha-ha), someone has to have run into this situation. I sure as hell dont want to have to buy new rims.

Thanks for the replies. Got one from this site 15 bucks + 2.50 shipping. Seems like quite a few other type of bikes have this prob. too.
