Rear tire air valve

[wmjweber45]

I used a clamp-on chuck for awhile. Getting it on was no problem, but taking it off was. Tended to get caught on the threads and released too much air in the process. Now I use a threaded chuck. I can reach the valve to screw it on for pretty much any wheel position. Losing air when unscrewing has not been an issue. My compressor has a psi setting, so it checks the pressure at the same time, adding air only if needed - two operations are no longer needed.

:2thumbs:90 degree brass stem was easy to install and makes Pressure Checks and adjustments sooo much easier. Best $$ spent in a while!:clap:
I'll try to post a photo soon.

Here's (2) photos:

Thanks for the photos, redrazor. Unfortunately it’s not that simple for those models with saddlebags. We only have a position between around 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock where we can access the stem. That’s why FOBO is so handy for me :thumbup:

Until you can get your air valve moved or if your somewhere without the right sizes chuck, gonto the Harley store and get a stem extender as used foyr an Ultra. Harley has the same problem and have 6" flexable extention. Costs about $10.00. I keep it on the Spyder with my air gauge.

Exactly! That was my interim solution and it does help although it isn't perfect. With two RTs to attend to it does make the rear tire atonement exercise somewhat easier.

This is one way to cure the problem like others have said.

Harborfreight has similar tool, it works for me, While you're there get there high adjustable work stool for about $30, make working on car and motorcycle and Spyder way easier.

I use one of these on my air compressor. The gap is the same but a lot easyest to connect and disconnect.

It was out at the edge because I had to move the bike backwards to put it into the best spot for a photo. Belt changes position from forward to reverse. I knew someone would comment on that. No problem. No problems.:thumbup:

Thanks.

It's the one from " ENKEI " it's the steel one and states it's an 85 degree bend.... it was packaged as " two for $11.00 " .... remember I used it on the DISC brake side of the rim, after drilling the correct size matching hole for it ..... to be safe I would drill the hole near the center if the rim , to prevent interference with any type of tire removal equipment ..... good luck ....
