Has anybody had any experience with this? it is a wireless tire pressure monitoring system. With tire pressure an extremely important part of safety and tire life, I was considering something along this idea.

LETTER SENT TO HARLEY DAVISION
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is being written as my wife and I recuperate from a faulty design related to unknown tire pressure in the back tire. On April 19,2010 while driving on I-275 in Florida the tire became flat and rode on for a few miles without knowing it was flat until the belts in the tire got so hot they became like jelly, going into a tank slap situation, throwing my wife 30’ and leaving me with a broken leg complete with rod and plates. There needs to be a warning device placed on all Ultra Classics warning of tire pressure. It is a simple after market fix with a $200 air pressure detector that can be located on the dash.
I have been riding accident free for 30 years and do not take riding as a joke. This is the second flat experience, the first one I was lucky enough to be exiting off the highway and felt the bike shift. You as a corporation should be warning your customers of this defect. My life has changed now because of this and I want to thank Harley Davidson for the typical corporation attitude.
I talked to a Harley representative and he stated that Harley is aware of this problem…..Really? For the safety of all who love to ride and the responsibility of those who make the equipment don’t you think this would make a worthwhile fix? Your response would be greatly appreciated.
