    Maintaining tire pressure, Valve stem access on R 18 B

    No secret here, just rotate your rear tire so you can see the plug on the bottom half of the tire, kneel down and plug air hose in. I am using the Ryobi 18v digital gage cordless 20" hose air pressure inflator.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    The Memphis is a tryout. For it to work, I have to mount it 45+ degrees inward toward the engine behind the blinkers. I didn’t like the look of it. With the new home made wiggles above the blinkers, I used the same Memphis mounts with new trim deflectors and mounted below the blinkers. I am on...
