It's not for everyone, but there's a market for them and it's my solution.

You only have to connect to them when you want to check your pressures.

I take the right side saddlebag off and position the valve stem at about 8 o'clock. Using a gage with a couple of feet of hose on it makes it easier.

Knew an old guy who could read the pressure in his tires by thumping them with his middle finger like a watermelon. No I can't do it but he was good at it. Master Machinist Neal Bowman was a wizard.

I got that extension too and not impressed you still beat hell out of your fingers trying to screw damn thing on and then off. NOT the answer for me.

I have the FOBO's with T-stem on my Buell... Have taken it up to over 100mph and it was fine...

As to the Bluetooth, not sure what phone you are using but mine runs my Uclear headset, the FOBO's and a battery monitor on the Buell all at the same time with ZERO issues.

the 1 connection is for AUDIO, but even that doesn't apply to newer phones, my Samsung S8 can connect to 2 audio devices at the same time....

FOBO's are on order with the T's for the Limited for next tire change as we speak! Best gadget ever!

Mine has enough power that I have had low pressure alarms go off in the house 40 feet from the ULY when the temp dropped into the 20's and the pressure dropped into my alarm range I had set! Startled the **** out of me!

It's air in a tire...lol...some of these responses had me laughing. Some of you guys are pretty serious about putting air in a tire, " hold your britches Martha I have to check my air pressure with my solar powered metric pressure gauge while it's jacked 2 feet in the air on my j&s jack" , because we all know if you use anything other than a j&s your bike will fall over...I can only imagine what goes on when it's oil change day. But really the one most important thing to putting air in your tire, that didn't get addressed here, is where do you put the valve stem cap while you're putting in the air?
