Right angle valve stems?

Pretty sure our are 11mm (7/16"), but I could be mistaken. fleebay is an option or there's a seller on here IIRC. Do a little search of this sight.

Hundreds of places including Amazon, fleebay, etc. Google - right angle valve stems for motorcycles.
With some of the bikes having huge rotors, they make checking pressure much easier.

PS - be sure to place them out the rightside of the bike as the boys at the shop placed the front out the left and this is DUMB when on the side stand.
I had the rear corrected when the tire was replaced.

+1 to all of the above! You need the larger size, but some of them work on both 8 and 11.3.
One other thing.. they often list them as 90 degree, but ideally what you want is 83 degree. I have true 90 on FZ1 and they actually kind of suck.. they sit way to close to the rim, making it hard to get to them.
On R6, I have the 83 degree ones and those are perfect.
I'd get these: 83 Degree Blue Angled Aluminum Valve Stem Motorcycle 90 11 3mm Bridgeport Gen2 | eBay

They're cheaper here: Angled Valve Stems great guy off the R6-Forum runs this site.
I use them on my R6. Will get more for the FZ6 when it comes time to tire swap. Wish I did it last time I swapped tires.

Those are the wrong size (8mm). Does he have 11?

I purchased mine from a vendor here on this forum, who sold them in various colors. I believe Cycle Gear sells them too, but only in black. You can use the search function to find out the company.

Thanks, I went w/ these from Amazon. (I lied in the title, actually I wanted 83 degree valve stems. :spank: )
I've been wanting to get sum Habanero sauce and needed to get over $35 for the free shipping!
That's where I got mine. I have about 60k miles on them. They are still holding up except the coloring of the caps have worn out or faded.
