Air Pressure
Those of you that have had a Spyder for a while know what a pain in the butt it is to check the air pressure, or put air in the rear tire. I have a Fix.
I am sure others have done this, but I finally got around to it.
Next time you replace your rear tire. Install a 90 degree valve stem. Have it installed at a slight angle (slightly turned). Installing it it this manner you can actually put air in your tire without using any profanity.
Here are a couple picts. Its easier to see than explain.
