Default Rear tire pressure

I bought my first bagger, Street Glide this month. Is there a better application in the world for a remote air pressure sensor than the Harley bagger rear tire?

I use the Garmin TPMS that displays the psi on my Garmin Zumo. Sure makes it better.

Back in June put a Orange Electronics M203T TPMS system on my '16 Road Glide Ultra. It has its own display and it uses "in tire" sensors that fit in my factory rims no problem. When I first turn on the ignition it takes about 15 seconds for the current tire pressures show, it does not require any movement to register tire pressure. Once it's reading pressure (or more accurately, once it's established communication with the sensors after turning it on) I can add air and the display updates in just a few seconds. Is accurate to within 1/2 pound of what my tire gauge shows. It also displays tire temps. You can set ranges for pressure and temp and it will send warnings if they go out of that range (the display turns red).
You have to figure out how/where you want to mount the display, because it doesn't come with a mount, other than double stick tape. To mount mine I used a scrap piece of 1/8" aluminum painted black and cut it to 2" x 3" and stuck the display to that. Then, using longer screws and standoffs, like some cup holder mounts use, mounted that in front of the front brake reservoir. Wired it in so it turns off and on with the bike. Works like a charm and took about an hour to install and wire up (after I had the sensors installed).
Warranty covers sensors and display for 2 years, Cost $175.00, replacement tire sensors are about $35.00 each. I got it thru RRRToolSolutions. I'm happy... so far lol see how it holds up.

I use a decent gauge and check it every now and again.
