Myself, I am not that anal about it. I may check my air three times through the season. For most of the time it doesn't change, other than when the temp changes with the seasons up here!Yes, good choice. If you didn't know better you'd think it was produced specifically for airing up a spyder's rear tire. Coupled with the little 45-degree digital tire pressure gauge your home free. I balance my FOBO's with the digital gauge to keep my tires at my choice of PSI. And then there's Mother Nature's influence we gotta deal with. So round and round it goes and we keep track of it with our FOBO's.
Mine changes about 4 PSI almost every ride. Less in the winter, more in the summer.Myself, I am not that anal about it. I may check my air three times through the season. For most of the time it doesn't change, other than when the temp changes with the seasons up here!
You will wear yourself out worrying about the air pressure at the end of the day in my opinion, and I don't believe your tire will last any longer than mine do. Your fulguration is temperature driven, if you leave your dooryard say at 18 psi, go out for a 100-mile ride get your gauge out and your pressure can be 2-4 higher than when you started. Do you worry about that and change it in the middle of your ride, no, of course you don't! Do you look at the tire pressure in your car tire every time you leave the door yard, most cars have tire monitors now? You must burn a compressor up in a year.Mine changes about 4 PSI almost every ride. Less in the winter, more in the summer.
I use this Jaco digital gauge with bleeder valve for precise inflation, the chuck end just slips over valve stem and releases with a push of the release button, no latch to flip up and down. I also purchased the 90 degree extension with the same lock and release button which makes it very easy to check/inflate the rear tireYou will wear yourself out worrying about the air pressure at the end of the day in my opinion, and I don't believe your tire will last any longer than mine do.

That is a nice setup, I have been looking to get one of those gauges! How long have you had it?

After about an hour's ride, your tire pressure SHOULD go up by about 4psi from its 'cold start' pressure...Mine changes about 4 PSI almost every ride. Less in the winter, more in the summer.
About a year, use it on all my vehicles, very accurate.That is a nice setup, I have been looking to get one of those gauges! How long have you had it? Obviously, you like it?
We don't have Harbour Freight herePistonBlown, do you remember where you got those from? Was it Harbour Freight?
Does that effect wheel balance?The Harley dealership sells an extension for about $12.00 or so that works good. I have been using one for years. You still need to get it screwed onto the stem on the wheel though. It does make adjusting the pressure easier once screwed on.
