I've got a set of chrome OEM Limited chrome wheels for my '09 Ultra Classic and I thought it would be a good time to replace the original valve stems with 90 degree stems.

Do any of you have replacement 90 degree valve stems in your OEM wheels? What brands did you use? Are there stems that are better than others?

Because a 90 degree stem would create an off-center condition, will there be a balance issue?

 

there is not going to be any balance issue.. as long as the valve clears evrything-mounts,rotars,beltguard...... it is fine.. would make airing up easier..

 

I put 45 degree chrome stems on mine.

No clearance issues and airing & checking pressures aren't a PITA anymore.

 

Is there an HD part number for these 45 and 90 degree valve stems?

Or, if not HD, a link to a good source?

EDIT: Amazing that this thread was just posted as I just got back from checking for these items at two different auto part stores that are almost 30 miles apart.

Thanks for the link! Gonna get a set of those and have them installed when I replace the rubber next time.

Until then, is there a value stem extender that you can screw on and off the current value stems that is also angled or on a flexible tube so that you can adjust the tire pressure?

I was looking at another site, not the DK site. Sorry!

 

That's a good idea I haven't seen done yet.
Doesn't mean they don't exist though.

 

What about a 90 degee valve stems like this? It's kind of ugly huh?

 

Good look'in rim's.
Rubber down. Chrome up.
