88b...thats a nice set up...

 

Really a good idea.

Thanks for sharing it.

 

Thank you. But I know alot less than how little you think I know. I think. You know?

 

You need to put in your application for Motorcycle Technology Czar. I don't think we have one yet. T.

 

LOL You think the Prez would appoint me?

 

I will withhold any further opinion on this subject as some may get too pissed off because I am mixing politics with mortorcycling. T.

 

I hear ya. I know what you mean. I belive we agree on those points. I would turn down my Czar appointment.

 

I have read all the complaints about checking and adding air to the touring bike tires. I still don't understand it. I check my tire pressure every time I clean the bike (usually once a week) and just don't have any problems.

But then again, I have never lived without my own air compressor and air tools. 90 degree, 45 degree, straight or flexible pressure gauges and air chucks have always been a part of my tool stash.

How does anyone live and do normal things around the house and vehicles without an air compressor and the basic accessories for your speciffic needs?

Not to belabor this, but those of us who are complaining about it being a PITA to check pressure and add air are referencing the stock 28-spoke cast wheels on the '09 EG's and RG's. The spokes are so close together it's a chore to even unscrew the valve stem cap, much less get a gauge or air chuck on the valve stem - not impossible, just way harder than it should be. The front wheel is the hardest, with the straight valve stem; at least the rear one is angled out slightly. Agree that popping the saddlebag off is the only way to go when checking the rear tire.

 

Tried out the ez-air guage. I do like it. Its nice to have it clipped and stay and be able to read the gauge and fill or release air. The rear was a little easy, still a pain. I like the design 88b had. If they combined teh two together it would be an awsome set up. When I get new tires I going to check on the 90 degree valve for tubes. I do like the ez-air. Thats my story and im sticking to it.
