Default 2018 Softails - Do they have TPMS?

Hey there everybody. I got to test drive some of the new 2018 Softails the other weekend and was wondering if the new models have TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System). I noticed the light is there in the lower left of the gauges but none of the sales people actually knew if it actually worked. It looks just like the icon for my low pressure light in my car.

It's on CVO so my guess is it's on the gauge either because it'll be offered down the road, or that gauge will be used on a CVO down the road...

Life changer for me was buying a $30 air pump and gauge for my garage. Makes checking and filling a no brainer. I lived in apartments as a youngster and I got in the bad habit of just doing it at the gas pump once a month. Had I known it was this easy I'd have done it when I was younger.

My 18 Softail does not have TPMS but the sales guy told me that is has the extra wide purple power band. And a sticker that makes it go a lot faster.
