Not sure where to get direct mount valves but I wrote a thread a couple weeks ago about relocating the original valve. If you're interested take a look for a thread titled "Relocated the Air Shock Valve".

hey goose, i'm not sure which year your bike is, but i know that the 08's use tubing from one shock to the other and also have a fill valve that is attached to the left side of the bike accessable by opening the left saddlebag lid. the bracket bolts on right behind the top of the left shock so it's easy to get to. no need to remove the saddlebag at all, and there's just one fill valve that way. check the 08 or newer models, you may be able to retrofit that system to yours. it sure makes adjusting pressure a lot easier.
