I had fobo before I got a bike with tpms. I loved it! I installed metal t valve stems on last bike. Made it really easy to add air when needed.
Why metal valve stems and are they necessary?
I see the caps are approximately the size of a penny. I do have metal valve stems but the one on the rear is a 90 so I will have to see if the FOBO will fit.

YES, I have the Garmin system and didn't heed the warning. Hit 80 mph and the rear cap moved enough to strike the brake caliper, almost completely ripped the rubber stem off and 50 lbs to zero in about 10 seconds. Replaced with the metal T stem mentioned above and it's been great.
My son has the fobo and really liked them
On that 2017, IF it came with security fobs and if you have a GT6.5 or a GTS head unit, all you have to do is add the H-D valve stems/sensors with a rubber bushing if you have the 11.4mm holes in your rims so they fit tight (if you have rims with the 8.3mm hole they fit those). Then get a dealer to enable TPMS in the BCM, pair the new sensors, and enable TPMS under Radio Customazations… and you’ll have it on your stereo. Also if you know someone with Diag4Bike, it can enable it also.
if you don’t want to read all 18 pages, I went thru it and tried consolidating the information the other people figured out, and what I did..
you can start from Page 16, post 159 and see what it takes.
