90 degree valve stem

£160? And Kawasaki charge ~£250 and that's just for the sensor.

I'll be ordering a valve anyhow. Anyone else wants one, let me know.

I've been talking to them today via email to try to order a kit for the FJR. Unfortunately they'll only take an IBAN transfer which is the standard MO on the big island off our shores but not so easy from the UK. It appears the German distributor takes PayPal so I may order from them.

Iv'e seen (aftermarket) 90 deg valves before and the ones I saw ALWAYS said....'remove before riding' there MUST be a reason for that..

yep! most likely will upset the wheel balance/centrifugal force. and will make your bike look butt ugly, unless the valve extension is coloured coded "magnesium grey" ;D have got a 90 degree valve extension. but only use for easy excess to the valve if I need to use the petrol station air line ;)

I would imagine that's because they only screw on to the valve externally and are likely to come off.

If it did start to come lose it is likely to let air out of the tyre

This one looks like a solid one piece valve that acts as a replacement and not a valve that you attach to your existing valve.

[Kevin]

I agree.

The German distributor takes PayPal BTW as I ordered the TPMS for the FJR from them a couple of days ago.

The Kawasaki size is 11.5mm. I can also get them VAT free.

Anyone else want some let me know. So far it looks like BigAlan and myself that will be purchasing these.
