It's quite tight getting an airline on and off the straight valve - does an angled valve have any downsides? High speeds won't be an issue for me.
I put them on all my bikes, makes life a lot easier, however, have you tried putting the air line through the hole in the middle of the wheel?
Not on my bike made in 1994, maybe its been changed in the past. This Ebay seller says they fit the front but not the rear of a 750SS https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-BLACK...265881?hash=item2a484768d9:g:ZGQAAOxyNDxRYRCw
They were fitted to the 748/916s all models and pretty much every Ducati's front wheel from 1998 inc 900ss https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ducati-Wheel-tire-angle-valve-Monster-Superbikes-49720012A-/112776798896 (Ducati OEM which is cheaper than the black one) used due to the difficulties caused by the front discs. Not such a problem on the rear wheel
Yeah my hyper has them on as stock....added them to my z1000 and the RSV4 - obviously angle them to the right so when its on the stand its easier to get to...
I need to put an angled valve on the rear wheel of my SS as my tyre pressure gauge doesn't fit between the wheel and tall straight valve .
SF has the angled on the front and conventional on the rear. Should have replaced the rear when the tires were done but forgot. Had them installed on the track bike. Its one of those convenience items that you won't really miss until you had it, especially when checking air before every ride like I do. Stay away from cheap chinese crap and the extensions (more joints, more opportunity for air leak). Install them directly into the wheel.
If you change your own tyres then care needs to be taken when breaking the bead. The angled valve will not clear some bead breaking equipment causing the valve to to leak. Experience has taught me this. TB
I won't be changing the tyres myself but when I spoke to the place that will be doing the work they asked for me to supply the valves as they only stock straight ones.
Or less. Even fitted to Triumph Bonnevilles. Makes fitting air lines so much easier. Your fitter should know where to source such high tech gear even if you have to order. To box makes a good point about bead breaking, should be made clear that clearance be checked before starting the bead breaking. Seen that happen myself.
