angled valve stem?
 
I'm getting a new rear tire next week on my 12 Heritage Classic. I find it really difficult to get my arthritic fingers around the spokes to screw on the compressor connector when I check and add air.

Do HD make an angled valve stem for the interlaced spoke wheel/tire (Dunlop white walls) which would make my life easier? I checked online but was not able to find a part #.

I don't know if HD does or not, but there are companies that do. I bought one off of Amazon so that my new rear wheel would clear all the moving parts on my bike.

Your Heritage running tubeless wheels?

Just asking cause my 2003 Heritage has tubes.

If you are running a tubeless wheel, I've heard good things about these;

I plan on putting them on my Limited the next time the tires are off...
