valve stems

[Phu Cat]

Being that I've turned into a full fledged lazy butt old fart, I'd like to make it easier to check the air pressure on the front tire of our Triglide by putting a 90 degree valve stem in the wheel. I don't think HD has ever offed such an option but I have seen jap bike companies offer them. Does anyone know the size of the hole in the 2012 front wheel for the Tglide?

TIA,
Phu Cat

Sorry don't know the size of the hole but something to be aware of is they may hit the caliper as they go around. I've seen just some valve caps hit the caliper. Just FYI

I've had caps hit my rotor or caliper depending on the size...went back to the stock setup with a shiny cap.

Picked up a couple sets of these at J&P while in Sturgis this year. Think they were bout $10.00 each. Work like a charm.

Yup, you need 45's not 90's. I think a company called Curvy Girls has them in quite good quality. I've got one in my toolbox waiting for the front tire to be installed to put it in.
