Checking tire pressure

To me checking the tire pressure on my ultra is hard to get gauge in such a tight area has anyone switches to steel angled valve stems.

Yeah front tire isn’t too bad but the rear is a pain in the ***. I bought a valve stem extender for about $10.
Take a look at it HD part #42300009. It works pretty well for me.

Next time you change tires have right angle valve stems installed. It makes it so much easier

I use a gauge that has a right angle fitting.
I also use an old school AmFlow air chuck with flexible hose.

I picked an extender up from revzilla for 10$. It allows me to use the air pump an the gas station. The front looks like the clip part from a bicycle pump and the end looks like a normal valve stem you can attach the air pump to. Works like a charm for filling and checking psi.
