+1 on the EZ-Air... so much better than anything I've seen elsewhere.

Well, if an '07 is a "recent bagger," then I would say "yes." The chuck isn't that chunky and I can easily access my tire valves at either angle. You still must remove the saddlebag to get to the rear valve, or crawl around on the ground as before. Like Len, I also feel a camaraderie or bonding experience mingling with the oil and antifreeze on the garage floor.

It would seem that with that straight chuck it would be hard to access the valves.

I'm with you on this one
Mine is a 2010 and the empty areas of our rims are oval shaped, just like tears
Do you use the same valve extension to set the suspensions?

I use the EZ on my 10 Ultra without much fussing. I do however have a lock on valve off an air tank so I just hook it on the EZ. Bought the EZ from Whitehorse.

I mounted a set of these 90 degree valve stems that make checking and adding air a lot easier.

I have a Slime gauge with a short hose, about 10" that works great but it is not digital. Have had a couple digital gauges that did not last long.
