90 Degree Valve Stem
In a prior life I rode a Gold Wing (great bike by the way ... just no real personality). One thing it had that was great was a 90 degree bend in the valve stem so that checking and airing the tires was nice and easy. Does anyone make them for the baggers? I put up with the straight stems on an 01 Ultra, and an 07 Ultra but now I have a 2011 Ultra Limited and it seems harder then ever, especially the rear tire. No real big thing, but just one of those little things that makes life easier.

Agree...don't know why HD doesn't change touring bike stems for easier access. I plan to add better stems during next rear tire change. So far I can get HD's air gauge in there, but still tight...

I also want 90 degree valve stems, especially on the rear wheel.
I have been thinking about these
I think I got this link from a post on HDForums. I cannot comment personally on these valve stems, just have this link saved.

These are 82 degree valve stems and what I put on my new Ultra Limited wheels.

This is the one I was going to order.
Someone in an old thread said an angled stem from a Sporty would fit the big bikes. The ones from Kurveygirl.com look identical to the ones from Motorcycleanchor.com but are $2 cheaper with shipping.

Hmm, I was going to order two of these, but when I emailed them for fitment info (none on their site) they said they would only fit if my bike originally had 90° stems. Mine didn't so I didn't order them. Did I get bad info?
