Default 90 Degree Valve Stem

Got new tires installed yesterday and installed my new 90 degree valve stems. Now, checking the air pressure is a breeze. No clearance issues whatsoever. The Harley mechanic said he was going to put them his bike as well. Purchased them on eBay.

Nice, I just got an adaptor to make the rear easier, and a combo gauge/compressor so I can read the pressure while inflating.

hope your not planning on leaving them on all the time, was looking myself but just seen this. on there site on theses


This is the solution to getting at those hard to reach valve stems. Just screw it onto the valve stem and any air hose will fit easily. Note: This piece is designed for convenience use only. It will simplify checking and changing the tire air pressure.

NOTE:*Do not operate your vehicle with this piece installed as doing so may cause valve stem failure. This failure may cause loss of control of the vehicle.

Yup, I wouldn't leave them on. I've read of instances where running those at high speed makes them fold over or even break off causing sudden loss of air. Yikes! Same goes for those skull caps and the like.
