I saw this one in the HD 2012 Accessory Catalog and for around $32-$40 (depending if you can get a 20% dealer) and am getting it for my nana! Thought it would be good to keep on the bike! :2vrolijk_21:
Got a P/N? That looks similar to the one I got from Sears (Craftsman 12V Portable Inflator).

Thanks Bro. :2vrolijk_21: Spec wise about the same as I have but I don't have a nylon carrying case. I think I got mine from Sears when it was on sale too so I paid less then the $24.99 that is showing.

A company called GORILLA makes a valve stem with a 45 degree bend in it, I had one installed on my rear wheel for the same reasons you are complaining about. The part number is VS403C it is located in the wheel accessories on Gorilla Automotive Products. It is a chrome solid valve stem and if you have the installer point it just a little forward it will not contact your caliper. I have had one on my rear tire since I bought the bike new in 2008 and have had no problems with it. Good Luck If anyone would like a picture posted I will do so later if requested

Thank you JR for posting that pic, if I remember correctly they come in a package of four and were only around 20 bucks. The nice thing about them is you don't have to stick your hand up around a hot rotor if you have been riding. The techs at my dealer love them

I have one of these; it's EZ to attach and lets you fill or deflate easily.  Costs about $18 to $20 + shipping on this Google search:

I just wish some one would come up with a gadget that would let you know when that rear valve stem was at the bottom. Too me that is the most pain in the backside. I know about the mirror trick in the garage. But that doesn't help much when your out riding. Any suggestions on this??????

Is that what you have hidden away in those locking glove box doors on the Red Bike?   :nixweiss:
