Putting air in tires
 
Does anyone else have a problem putting air in their Ultra tires? I just got an 09 Ultra classic and the wheels have multiple small arches about 2 inches wide, and maybe 3 high, between those..and the brake rotors, I cant get an airline in there to put air in my front tire. I can barely get an air gauge in there. If anyone has a solution to this, besides getting new wheels, I'd love to hear. The last time I tried, I spent about 10 minutes at it and prob lost air instead of getting into the tire..
Thanks

SC Compact, There isnt enought room between the top of the valve stem and the bottom of the little freakin arches to get a lock down air valve attached, I have a compressor with one of those on it and it wont fit. Nice idea tho.
Dawg...what do you mean "Put an angle valve on it"? the valve stem comes with the tube. I have never seen a air valve configuration that screws or attaches to the stem and angles out at a 90. If you have, let me know where please.

I don't know if they offer anything that screws/attaches to the existing stem...I do know that they have angled valves as a direct replacement.
