Default What about tire pressure monitors???
All the new electronic features are nice, but I was really hopping for tire pressure monitors. This is one safety feature I feel is a must have. They are standard on the new Indians.

I agree and put one on my last two bikes,but it looks like the new Indians are the only bike coming from the Factory that way.
It will give HD something to add in later years along with the electricly adjustable windscreen and a larger motor that the Indians already come with.

Then it would make sense for you to buy the far superior Indian.

A close friend of mine used to have these on his ride until he found out that they are prone to fail with the valve open and you have a flat.

If he used the one that mounts on the end of the valve stem than I can see that happing. Mine mount on the inside of the tire.
