90 degree valve stems make it a lot easier. I have them on my FJR, not sure what brand. They were on the bike when I got it.

I was thinking this type. This photo is from an FJR site even.

There are some cheap cast (with the B) vs better cnc. I got mine from classic cycles in hillard. There's two sizes I think jap are the larger for once.

You got the better ones? How much? I think my bike would need 11.3mm.

I've been running the 90* the last 2 or 3 changes and have had no issues. Was a little Leary of them at first due to cheap price but they had great reviews. I think brand is Myers. $2 each at Jake Wilson

Not sure if it's true, but a dealer tech once told me that certain types of 90 degree valve stems can leak at speed.   Something about centrifical force pushing it down toward the rim :dunno:

Maybe this type? I saw comments about ones with rubber bases and saw a photo of one with a support bracket.

I could see this being true on the non bolt-in type. I know people have had issues with this on FOBO motorcycle tire pressure sensors when using a rubber valve stem instead of metal.

I put the Bridgeports on my bikes & don't have any leakage issues & they do provide easy access.  I don't think I paid $20-25 for them though because I'm a cheap ass,  but I did buy them a couple years ago though.

I put two of these on my bike. They both blew out while riding.  Fortunately didn't crash either time but left me stranded.  These are pieces of shit!
