The valve stem on my 2010 Road King is straight up and close between the multi spoke alloys. Cant get my gauge on it. Any particular brand you are using ? The older stems were at a outward angle.

 

Get a screw-on 90deg valve extension from Stop & Go for $9.95 and problem solved. Much easier to inflate the tires with it too.

I use this, works like a charm.

Harley P/N 75137-98B Havn't seen any vehicle yet including any Harley this won't work on ... Also has a Depth Gauge as well ..

 

I use the HD pressure gauge as well,it is a tight situation,but it works.

 

This is what I did:

I did this too; I love it. I also have the HD Air gauge; Part number 75137-98B. Great gauge that is very accurate and easy to use. As someone else mentioned it has a built in tire tread depth gauge as well.

 

Harley guage is expensive, but its hard to find a guage with the 90 degree end on it. Never been a fan of screw on valve stem extensions, but thats just me

 

I'm not a fan either but the 2009 and newer model wheels are such a PITA, it's better than nothing. Of course, I only screw it on to check pressure and/or put air, and it's off for riding.
When time comes to replace my original tires, I'll have 90 deg valves put on and the wheels re-balanced. Until then, this extender does the job.

 

I have to agree here. I haven't put the extensions on but they would be helpful. I had a friend tell me to check the pressure all the time. That should help my tires last longer. Well........he doesn't have a 2009 harley rim I do check it often but....WOW....what a pain. I also didn't know Harley made a presure gauge with a 90 degree on it. Good info all around though. Nice thread.
