I'm in the automotive parts biz, quite common actually. Dissimilar metals & the slight current from the TPMS sensors make it happen from what the manufacturers have told me. All TPMS caps for cars I sell are plastic for this reason.

I checked with local dealer owner who is still at the Vegas show.

Will not retro to earlier bikes. Only available on CVOs.

The MoCo is so behind the electronics curve they don't have a clue where the apex is. Check out what BMW and Honda offer on their top dollar bikes.

Honda may have the TPMS on their Goldwing, but from what I've read, many disconnect it because it gives inaccurate readings and is useless. Other than that, they have nothing infotainment wise that even gets close to what Harley offers with the Boom 6.5 system.

I have the Tire Gard aftermarket one on my bike and it haws been working great. With 36 in the front and 40 in the rear as the book says the monitor reads 34 in the front and 39 in the rear. You still have to check and add air but it takes the guess work out of it. IMHO best thing since indoor plumbing.

I want to hear the first report when someone has new tires put on and their indy/dealer f*cked up the sensor in the wheel, or for some reason the system needs some software upgrade - after all, it is electronics from the lowest bidder integrated into the infotainment system.

Just like in cars with TPMS, people will neglect regular maintenance items.

Great idea something useful, but first TPS for TPMS tells me it's a fricking joke just like the boom system is now.

The system is so unpredictable but there's noting it will hurt except your felling. But this could get you hurt if the system does not work or tell the truth, I don't buy it, knowing what I know about the current boom system!
