• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Tire Pressure Equalizer

A digital gage.

A quality digital gage works just fine and is much less expensive and easier to stow away in your :spyder2:.
So your off one half pound. Your bike won't care and you'd never know the difference, unless of course you're traveling around mach 2 and above. :roflblack: :roflblack:
But, if you got it, go ahead and spend it if you want. I'm guilty of worse. nojoke I bought a 2014 RT SE6. :ohyea:

I have to agree with 2dog, I made one of the equalizers for about $15 and it was a pain in the butt, I also decided that the gauge in the tool kit was a pain, so I used a hook on a suction cup. I also found that an extension on the value made it easier to check and to fill. I'll even sell mine for $40 plus $12 shipping.

In another post someone was asking how to have some keys in the frunk, this would work for that too.

JT's "Dual Fill" makes it really easy . . . if you need air, you only pump once. Also, most tire pressure gauges are not that accurate . . . so being sure you are within 1/2 lb is pretty tough. With one of these, the pressure is exactly the same in each front tire . . .
 
Thanks guys...I will check out JT.

I haven't bought anything...and won't until you kind people give the :thumbup:
 
Here's the thing..!!

both JT's and others are more a shop tool. Don't think they were designed to carry around but if you want to JT's is very compact. The quick connect coupler is really great and easier to use...:thumbup:

No. Two reasons. JT's is friendlier to your wallet. More important though, IMO, is the clamp on nozzles in the eBay version will be difficult to attach and detach off the valve stems. You are likely to lose air when taking them off. The clamp on nozzles like on JTs will come off quickly with hardly a puff of air lost. You can also use just one end to air up the back tire. Works better than reaching the valve stem directly with an air nozzle.

I made my own but I'm not sure it was worth the trouble. I did fix it up so I can use either an air hose with regular nozzle or plug it into an air hose quick connect.

Edit: It's air chuck, not nozzle. Damn, this getting up in years sure messes up the ol' rememberer. I see JT also says the same thing about the clamp on chucks.

But my comment about using it on the back tire is additional to what the others have already said!:yes:

I agree. JT's is less expensive, though it does not have a gauge. I use a digital gauge from Harbor freight.

You can get the Dual Fill with or without a gauge and I now have a 0-100 psig gauge in addition to the 0-30 psig gauge that I originally had.

Does the dual fill, 0-100 psi guage, shown on JT's website come with the hoses and connectors, as a kit? I would imagine so for the price... But it's not clear on the website! In other words, what do you get for the $75.50?

It comes complete like the 0-30 psig model... Oh my I need to add a photo of the 0-100 psig model and update the other two photos as I have a better connector for the hoses now. Here is how it arrives at your door. You just have to plug the hoses into the tee.
