Not sure, but it might just be CVOs.

They work fine on my Regal GS. If its integrated into the system don't see how it can be that bad.

Don't use metal valve caps. They weld to the valve. Expensive lesson, they don't usually warn you about in the owners manual. I think it is a good idea if Reliable. Bad idea if unreliable.

Cause lying on your back, contorting your arm and wrist around the rotors and rim just to check tire pressure is so much fun right?

I'd trade the Air Temp Gauge for a working TPS any day.... just saying.

Thanks for the info Craig. I'm all over FB looking for what's new. Not seeing much yet.

TPMS should be required IMHO..
I do not like riding without..
I put on around 15k on in 6 months and so it is nice to keep an eye on tire pressures without all the fuss.

There are a bunch of them now you can add to a bike for about $80
