Default Angled valve stems

I have an 06 FLHT with the wagon wheel 9 spoke mags. I'm looking at valve stems but I'm undecided between 90* and the angled ones that are about 45*. What's working best for people?

Bike Masters 90 degree valve stems can be had at www.revzilla.com around 20 bucks.

I have run the 82 degree ones from Motorcycle Anchor for several years now, a big help especially on the rear.

I'm considering these primarily because the nut is on the outside so it can be checked periodically because I'm like that: https://www.jakewilson.com/p/-/-/162...ome-Valve-Stem

Another heads up for the Motorcycle Anchor valve stems. They work great and provide much easier access than the stock stems.

So I ordered and installed the above stems from jake wilson. Had to angle them back to clear the calipers but otherwise I think they are going to work just fine.
