Which vehicles get tire pressure monitoring standard and on which vehicles can you buy it as an option.

[ultrarider123]

The '16 SERGU and SE Limited get that standard.  I haven't seen it listed for any of the other touring bike as a standard feature or as an option.  I'm still reviewing the P&A catalog but not sure how they would incorporate that as an option unless there is an upgrade to the infotainment system along with the wheel sensors?

[greglyon]

I'd like to see them make it available as an option on all bikes linked to an iphone or android app via bluetooth.  You engineers out there.  Is that possible and economically feasible? 

[greglyon]

For those wishing TPMS was available as an option, check this out.  Product is called FOBO and is available on Amazon for $97.  I am going to give it a try. I will post a review at a later date.

Looks good. Looking forward to your review.

I got this right when it came out around a month ago and I love it. Goes right to my I Phone and is only off a half a lb but is consistent. Every time I walk by my bike in the garage it will read out the pressure. So far has held up great. worth the $90 on Amazon for sure

I have a reservation about these.  Whenever I wipe my bike down, which is nearly every time I ride, I do so on a jack stand.  That makes it very easy for me to check the tire pressure and examine the tires.  While it would be nice to always know the pressure, I think it is most important to also examine the tires before riding.  Just a thought....

Ok, Bluetooth to the phone. What if my phone is already hooked up to the bike or when I start the bike, Will I have to pick which BT device I want to use on my phone? Interesting product, just looking for more answers.

No, all hook up automatically. As I said on earlier post, even when you just walk by the bike while it is off and covered the app still will read your pressure. I only use the rear one as it is such a PIA to check the rear and I don't like the look of it on the front wheel. I agree with Greg that it does not take the place of checking the tires yourself but I will admit I get lazy about checking my rear and this at least lets me know the pressure.

In 2014, at Sturgis, I rode the Indian Chieftain and Roadmaster. The one feature I liked on these bikes was each had a TPMS as a standard feature.

Harley can make this happen in the future on the bikes with infotainment systems.

I use a Garmin Zumo 590 to replace the POS Infotainment GPS, and it has TPMS built in (you just need to buy the sensors separately.)  It works really well.

[CVORick]

Eqcons, your one of the lucky ones.  I also have the Garmin Zumo 590 with the TPMS sensors installed and at best the rear only works 50% of the time.  Check the 590 thread on ZumoForums and see all the issues with the TPMS.  The Zumo 590 with TPMS is over $1000.  A lot to spend for TPMS and I , personally, think the screen is a POS.

Yes, I've read that thread already Rick - fine for me, so as you say, I guess I'm just lucky!

Opinion only,maybe not? It's possible those FOBO screw on's could possibly throw the tires balance of? Looking large on a cycle rim.
