Question Help with 2018 Ultra - adding TPMS

Hi all,

New to the forum .... so hello all!!

I have been the happy owner of a 2018 Ultra for several years. Last year I cut a tire and did not realize it. Close call on the highway when it got to low.

So I am looking to add TPMS, avoiding the screw on sensor/cap "type" systems if possible, and be notified on my Boom GTS 6.5 system if the tire pressures are low.

I have read posts indicating this wont work due to no "recess" in the rim, incorrect valve stem diameter, etc.

Then I have read posts that say it will work no problem, just need to install sensors and have somone update the BCM with the sensor numbers.

If you have done this successfully .. please let me know what needs to be done

Thanks!!

Jim

I have a 2018 Ultra Limited as well. I am looking to add these to my bike. I have stock wheels currently. Did you get the TPMS added to yours? Was your dealer able to flash your radio?
