TireGard, they make a version with handle bar mount too. Just screws on the stem, no balance issues I've ever seen, love knowing tire presure as soon as I move the bike, motion sensing.

 

I have FOBO, and am happy with it. I did pay $80 to have metal stems installed. It’s nice to be able to quickly check tire pr sure before each ride without having to roll to around to find the stem, and remove a saddlecbad.

 

Be very careful and follow the recommendations with the screw on type like fobo. I put them on rubber stems and the stems blew out on the side. Make sure you use metal stems!

I like the in tire design and I absolutely agree that they should be standard on all our bikes. If they passed a law in 2007 for all vehicles to come with them, then why don’t we have them? Seems like a no brainer. I liked the fobos when I had them. Quick glance at my phone and I knew my tires were good to go. I’m pretty good at the kick test but it’s only telling me it’s not flat. Low tires are the most dangerous.

 

In the event of a blow out no, nothing will help. This device is more for running down the road and pickup a screw or something, you can be alerted to the leak before the tire goes all the way flat.

 

Reading through this thread the term "RUBY" came to mind. :-)

 

Did she take her love to town with low tire pressure?

 

I put the FOBO system on when I installed new tires, so I put on the metal T stems. Overall I'm happy with the system. No problems so far with leaks, but I also put in Ride On.

 

Very happy with my FOBO setup. Like others said, metal stems are a must. I don't monitor it while riding, if a tire blows I'll be the first to know it monitor or not. I'm way too lazy to crawl my fat azz around on the ground to check tire pressure. Being able to look at it on the phone is easy, I check every day before I ride and usually at a fuel stop if I'm on a long ride. Before I had the system the only time I checked pressure was when bike was on the lift for cleaning or maintenance. Adding air is much easier with T stem and short hose extension I keep in my bag. Still not fun, but easier at least.

 

Thanks for the link. Do you have any pics showing how you mounted the display?

 

I totally see your point. However, seems that there are some people on this thread that don't want it. HD makes it standard and then the people that don't want it get pissed off. Dam if you dam if you don't sort of thing.

I think HD is in a tough spot with all of this tech stuff. This is just how I see it. HD wants to stay true to what's made them what they are. Simple, reliable bike. The average guy can work on my bike, I do anyway. Air cooled, simple engine. Stuff like this. Hell I can take my bike apart with 5-8 tools.
Most other bikes in its class have all this tech built into them. Auto adjusting suspension, air pressure sensing, etc. So what does HD do?? Stick with what got them here or adapt? I don't have the answer.
I like that I can work on 99% of my bike, simple. My wife's CTS, there is no dam way I could, or would, tear into that. Hell you have to pull the cover off underneath the car to change the oil.

Not just talking about the pressure sensing here, but all that tech stuff is great until problems start.
