Question 90 degree angle tire valve stems

Has anyone considered using a 90 degree valve stem on the front rim?
TIA

I had one put on my 2013 Triglide when I changed the front tire. Made putting air in a lot easier

Used them on a 2012 FLTRXSE and they worked great. Made life simpler.

The calipers are mighty close, double check your clearance.

I had angled valves on my Ultra Classic but I haven't installed one on the TriGlide yet. It's a PITA to put air but only 1/2 of what it was with a 2-wheeler so it's not a priority. I'll do it when I replace the front tire. I found
these ones these ones
that are chrome so they'll fit my chrome wheel. Pb is they're sold by pair so that's not a good deal, unless someone is interested in splitting the cost with me.

Just had my front tire replaced at 15,000+. The local metric shop that did it for me put a really nice chrome one on.
