Default where can I buy a tube with right angle valve stem?
Have an 08 road King Classic with an aluminum spoked half moon wheel with the valve in the middle. It is almost impossible to check the air or put air in that tire. I'm ready to change tires and looking for a tube with a right angle valve, metal if I can get it. Any leads where I can buy it?
Thanks,
Borracho

You can buy an adapter at an RV supply but I wouldn't leave it on the valve stem because it will throw your balance off.

Or balance the wheel with the adaptor on.

I went to cyclegear and bought tubes with angled air valves. Makes it a lot easier to fill and check tires

Bingo--at a Harely dealer that was a Drag Specialties dealer. The tube part number is 0350-0026 Tube 15"/16" TR87 made by Metlzer. Cost $28.95. It is a dream now to check that rear tire. Going to have a drink on this one.
