Question TPMS?? Anyone have one yet?

Did the search, came up with 2 threads on TPMS for bikes. I saw Texasredneck doesn't like them, but I for one, like the ability to get an advanced warning of a tire failure. Have it on my 4Runner and it did a great job of letting me know I had a flat coming on while tooling down rt65 in Indiana. Thought it would be a great idea for me to have that on my touring machine since I do a lot of riding long distances most of the time I'm alone and on the backroads.
So, has anyone else added this to their bike here and what brand are people buying?
Thanks
Spike

I'm interested as well. The Iron Butt folks like the SmarTire unit, but it's no longer being made. Not sure what else is out there.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's not law before long. All new cars are required to have them now so bikes can't be far behind.

Yeah, I don;t see why not? It's a great warning device if it works, like mine did in the 4Runner.

My 09 Ultra came equipped from the dealer with the following stuff

It is supposed to be pretty good. So far I haven't had any problems and don't want any either. I am not affiliated in any way with the attahed link.
