90 degree Angled Valves

[Camo]

Just ordered a set of these 90 degree valve stems. Guy was advertising on the FZ1 website and I thought a few of you guys maybe interested in these?
I think they'll make life a whole lot easier when putting air in or testing tire pressure.

The guys name is Mani and has been great to deal with. The product got glowing reviews from those that bought them over there.

I'm definitely will order when I need more rubber. My XL hands make it dang near impossible to check my air. When I say XL, I'm not trying to make any joke or anything....The rumors aren't true. LMAO.

I bought those a while back. They're waiting around for me to get some stickier tires.

I try all the time
3xl in most gloves do the trick...I tried those cheap valve extensions, you know the L shaped type ones that just screw on; any time they got a slight bump or I topped up the air, they'd slow leak.
Twice I've gone to leave work to find my front tyre dead flat and once the rear tyre was almost dead flat.
Still waiting for these to arrive actually.

valve stems

will the 11.3mm fit the fz8

Yup, they're the ones you want

With the steel ones you really need the little plastic support thingies when you use the angled valves. This isn't the case with the aluminum ones?
I got 90 degree valve stems (the steel ones) on my Valkyrie, and the plastic supports are mandatory- high speed centrifugal forces will bend the valve stems over and eventually make the rubber part fail...

It will take higher pressure and more time to air the tires up because the inner diameter of the valve stem is smaller
