rear tire valve stem >:-/ - any ideas how to actually add air!?

[2dogs]

Just the right angle, inexpensive, and easy to use. As with any air tool make sure you have the correct connector. There are 3 types of which 2 are the most common. I carry one of these chucks and 2 connectors in my spyder should I need to air up while away from home.

A few months back my dealer installed a new tire. When they remounted the wheel to the bike, they aligned it such that the tire valve was directly behind one of the drive pulley's spokes. Totally inaccessible.

They remounted the wheel for free.

I have an air pump with a pressure gauge. Just screw it on and push a button. Air loss on unscrewing is miniscule. Most of the time I can get the hose on where it sits, but occasionally I need to move the trike a bit to get to the stem. The hardest part for me is getting down, then back up from the garage floor.

I bought an extension hose(actually they are sold in pairs) from Amazon. It is still kind of a pain in the a....s but a lot better than trying to get the air chuck on the valve. I keep one at home and one in my tool bag for the road.

You friendly neighborhood Harley dealer has an extension hose they use on ElectraGlide Ultras. Last I looked it $10 to $12 dollars. Makes it easier to check. Also I find it is easier to have the wheel at about 1:00 or 2:00 O'clock. I can get down easily but getting back up is another story.
