Preferred not having to have phone app on and in view. Real time monitor and alarms for changes.

After my FOBO app went TU due to a phone update, I switched to one of these too. Way better and cheaper than the FOBO "solution", which I now refer to as FUBAR.

I am carrying these in my saddlebags on the Limited waiting for the first tire change.

I already have them on the HI bike. I am hesitant to go to a TPMS after we came out of a restraunt and my buddy's RK with TPMS had a flat rear tire after the TPMS leaked.

A right angled gauge like this helps...
Accutire Accutire

Or a small compressor with a right angle valve and an accurate reading....

I had the CVO angled stems put on when I had the bike in for warranty work....wheel bearings going bad. They already had the wheels off so it was a no brainer to do them and install American Elites at the same time since my rear tire was cupped. Dealer cut me a good deal to do the extra work and we were both happy. Didn't care what the stems cost because it was a pia to check tire pressures with the stock stems.

I refuse to use a bluetooth app when the company is monitoring my usage and mining data. This app tracks too much for me to use.

Why not check it with something you can add or remove psi while you are there?
On the road Garmin TPMS gives me on the fly checks for piece of mind.

I had these & returned them because they wouldn’t update. Went with Fobo and no problems to date.

This is the one I have. I have those 28 or whatever knuckle wheels, huge PIA. This works great and it looks on which is a huge bonus

I am super-**** about tire pressure. After I determined that my tires lose next to no air, I use the 'billy-club' test before I ride. I only check the tire pressure every three weeks or so, and generally only have to add a tiny bit every other check. Therefore, not a big deal to me.
