I broke the Smart Tire sensor cradle while dismounting my rear tire a couple of days ago. (At least I'm breaking my own stuff...) Fortunately, the cradles, and sensors, are still available from:
http://dickmantires.com/SmarTire/Stire_sensors_tools.html
They were actually cheaper than listed on the website ($8 apiece plus mailing costs) and were in stock. I ordered three: one to replace the one I broke, and two to replace the ones I might break when I change the tires next time. The folks at Bob Dickman Tires were great to work with.
The new style sensors sit in a cradle, so you break the eight dollar cradle instead of the eighty-five dollar sensor. They sit a little higher than the old MC sensors. I like the Smart Tire system better than anything else currently available; too bad they don't offer the motorcycle system anymore. As long as the low pressure (0-65 psi cold) sensors are available, it looks like I'm still in business with my old system. The PART#: 200.0171 sensors work fine with my old system. The sensor told me that my rear tire was low Wednesday morning, before I noticed a problem with the bike's handling.
