Why Did The MOCO Move Valve Stem location? And when? I bought my 2018 and to my surprise and disappointment the stem is in the center of the rim. Difficult to see and access. On my 2007 Ultra it is on the side of the rim. Where it should be. I did a internet search and found no answer. So. I pose my inquiry here. Where all mysteries on Harley Davidson are solved.
Someone in the engineering department just wanted to have some fun. I sure don't know why. As bad as access is on my 2018 Harley, my 2019 Indian is way more difficult access, even with an extension hose. The brake rotor is really close to the valve stem.
I bought a set of 90°, aluminum valve stems and the shop couldn't set the bead of the tire because the flow rate wasn't high enough.
My buddy has a set that worked just fine though, so buyer beware.
