This style of valve stem came factory on my Rocket and Gold Wing. I never had any problems with my RGS; just gotta lay on the ground and git-er-done.

One funny thing, though...Honda has the stems pointing to the low side (kickstand) of the bike. That makes no sense at all.

As you know, I use the same thing. I find that it loses less air during attachment and detachment than anything else I've tried. And once it's on I can easily inflate, deflate, use a gauge, as much as I want. Trying to get any kind of chuck in there, push it down on the valve and hold that seal, and do the same with a gauge, is a lot more of a pain for me than screwing that hose on and taking it off. That hose is also easy to take with me and use anywhere.

I wondered if that was factory on my wife's Phantom. Horrible design.

Check hole size in rim for 90 degree stems. I bought a couple different ones, and they were either too large to fit the existing hole or the threads on new stems weren't long enough to make it through rim wall. I wasn't comfortable with drilling a large hole through my forged alloy wheels.

thats neat...but ain't working on any gas station air pump I've ever seen. I carry the HD extension hose on the bike...fits right in the case of the mini air pump. I've had several people see the hose in use and say " no ****...where the hell did ya get that?" Lol...it's easy, cheap...by hd standards...and works. But just oil or wax everyone has their favorite lol.

My 2021 Road Glide came with 90* valve stems. Pretty easy to check and fill.

When traveling, I carry my JACO chuck fitted with one of these:

Solves the gas station issue.
