45% valve extensions

[pandemonium]

anyone tried putting these on r 18 classic for easy access to rear wheel valve without moving bags, or any suggestions

Do you mean these gadgets =>


They do work, but may affect the tire balance if you leave them on full time. I got a dual angle chuck attachment for my compressor and it works very well.

A friend I was riding with had a blowout because of the added stress of the extension tore a big rip in the valve stem. My experience.

I bought a different head/fitting for my air compressor hose.Just a cheap one, that is short and fits the bill.

I only install them while checking the pressure and remove them afterwards.

+1 on the FOBO, works as advertised. For a pressure gauge I have a variety that all have done their job well, but the best rest/cycle pump has an accurate gauge built in with a release valve to allow easy final adjustments without having to do much fiddling back and forth in tight quarters.

thanks again to everyone for their suggestions and help, will be following up on these, esp those backrests from roadstyler, significant saving and apparently if you chose the fed ex delivery its a lot quicker ,by air compared to poland post by sea, i will still get the crash bars from wunderlich as they seem better quality plus more attachment points for load distribution re .crash. thanks again
