Default Rear tire valve stem

Wow, this past weekend, I checked the tire pressure on '10 Street Glide and had a he!! of a time getting an acurate tire pressure reading, and had a heck of a time placing/sealing my tire inflator on the rear tire stem.

Any suggestions? The rear disc brake is in the way. Any solutions to making my life easier?

I can't remember how many expletives I used to try and finish this task. I gave up...

Tks,

BB

I bought the HD version air gauge and tread depth combo, it has enough of an angle to get a good reading.
This is the one that I use 75110-98B
It works for me....

While difficult, it is still do-able. If you really didn't want to tackle checking air pressure I guess you could take it in to the dealer for quick squirt of air. My dealers labor rate is $95..00 per hour. I suppose they would ratchet that down to 1/2 hour minimum, not sure though.
