I was watching Goss' Garage on the boob tube this morning and he was raving about this device.
Said it was better than any other on the market because it monitors tire pressure and temperature.

I would think that would put to much presure on the valve stem, at highway speeds.
Think I will stick to my tire gage that I use before every ride....

Lyn-Del and Wizard are both running these on their bikes now.  Perhaps they will chime in later with an actual report.

At least they look the same.

Love the idea. At $299, it seems a bit pricey! Wait a year or two, $29.95 and I'm in! Smiley  Cheesy

Are these "Plug and Play" or do you have to rebalance your tires? I would think (and its just me,) that if you put these on, you'd need to rebalance the wheel.  Just curious because I've been thinking of doing this myself.

We have the ones from Show Chrome.  Wizard's are working well, mine, well, mine didn't like being moved from the Gold Wing to the Interstate for some reason.  They have to be removed to air the tire, so removing and reinstalling them should not be a problem.  It's probably just me --- as a kid I couldn't wear a wrist watch due to weird magnetic forces in me, now this.

Oh.  Well.  Hopefully I can get them replaced.  I do like not crawling on the ground to check my tires.  And my achey knees like it even more than I do.
