Don't want to spend a million bucks but I am looking for a small tire gauge that will be large enough to comfortably reach the Vlk stems and large enough for 2XL hands.

Any tips?

Anything by Acutire (electronic gauges) is great.... to 1/2lb.

Backlit led digital readout and flashlight tip: good in dark/low light.

This is mine.  Easy on my 90* stems.

Used it to check a half dozen old gauges, thru half away.

Batteries do not like cold, so it comes inside for the Winter.

+1 on the Acutire gauges.

I use them exclusively and they simply.... work well.

Me too.  Pictured below is what I use.  This topic was discussed here a couple of months ago: http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,62797.0.html

I have 2-3 of the $5 pencil stick gauges. They are accurate and small for traveling

This is what I use, nice and big good quality dial face, long curved extension to aid in getting to the valve stem and big enough to hold on to..... cooldude cooldude

stick gauges here...works for me.
don't take much space, & no battery required.
keep one in each bike and 4wheelers.
all within 1/2 lb of each other.
easy breezy, maybe not the best.
