AIR VALVE

...6 inches ....did you re-balance the rear wheel ????......Mike :thumbup:

I just put in on add air then take it off.

I do the same with my 90 extension. I have rubber valve stems, and the extension would cause the rubber valve stem to flex, and eventually crack.

Yes, it's a Harley product but it works very well. Was tipped off to it by SpyderAnn.

So, you're reaching in to put the extension on, and then you air up, then take the extension off? So, while reaching in, why not just air it up with the air chuck and skip the extension? Sorry, had to ask....If you're in there, just air it up. :shocked:

:duh: Well, the obvious answer is that using an easy-to-screw-on extension can make the job easier, depending on what kind of air chuck you are using. When I air up at home, I've got a chuck that grabs onto the valve stem and holds on tight so I don't have to hold it. It also has a very accurate pressure gauge which is integral to the unit. So that makes the job relatively easy. It looks something like this...

But on the road at a fuel stop it can be hard to get in there without some kind of handy extension like the one from HD that JayBros linked to above. I agree that it looks to be very handy and easy to use.

Don't know. ..!!

I've never had any problems with checking the air on the rear tire. :dontknow:

It comes standard with their portable air pump.

But then, I use 100% Nitrogen

Hi Rob

What is that you are using?

That's probably 'cause your knees still work, Gene. (Also, the RS is probably a little better than the RT in that regard.)

Hi Rob

Here is where I got the picture. I can't remember where I got mine (probably Amazon), but that one is almost exactly like it. Just google "tire inflate gauge" and several will come up.

Thanks! :clap:
Next time I'm near one of the local H.D. shops; I'll look them up! :thumbup:

My knees work fine; but, I find the 90 degree that I have works a lot easier than fumbling with the end of the gage that I use. I have a 2008 GS. And, yes it is much easier to screw on the 90 than try to place the fitting at the end of the gage hose on the valve stem.

Wow, that bad boy could double as a weapon.

I got one like that. It will fill or release air to the tenth of a pound and has its own extension.
