Yes, you will like them, highly recommend for touring bike with stock rims 09 +. I ordered mine a year or more ago, the weekend I ordered the guy who owns the company got killed in a motorcycle wreck, his GF and buddies stepped up and made sure everything kept going and orders got out. Highly recommend these.

Damn, those are pricey. I know some of the H-D rims make it difficult to use the valve stem, I think I'd try to regular angled stems first. I don't know if I'd believe the lifetime statement. All rubber seals will eventually fail.

Pricey yes, but being able to fill the darn tires without performing extreme acrobatics? Priceless!

I have them but am not changing the tire til after the holidays. I tried contacting Motorcycle Anchor after emailing Masterblaster. Did not get a response until after I bought mine from Kurvey Girl. Be patient, they will reply.

I bought 2 black ones 3 weeks ago and they're sitting in the garage. I'll have one mounted on the rear wheel in the coming weeks when I replace the stock tire with the American Elite I bought. The front will wait until the D408 is worn out.

Is the company safe? I tried using paypal and I get a notice there is not enough money in my paypal account to cover the charge and they want a credit card number. There is plenty of money in my paypal account and I do not want to use a credit card. Why do they insist on a credit card? Doesn't seem like a legitimate company would do that. I tried a few months ago and it was the same thing. Any one else have this happen?

Not needed item. Save Your money to spend on some bling. Just get on Your creeper and fill the tires. No Problem.
