Recommendations? 90 degree valve stems for 1300?

[GhenghisKen]

Hi Folks,

Looking for any recommendations on 90 degree stems. Lots on Amazon, but they look kinda cheaply made, or am I being too fussy?

I purchased mine from Honda, and haven’t had a problem.

Take a close look at all of them the $9 ones look identical to the $30 ones. If you have a local bike shop, support them.

Like DeanR I used the Kurveygirl ones on mine (and a few other of my bikes that came with straight stems)

I recommend Tee stems if you want to add a TPMS.

Me too. Great quality. Used to be a member here that sold them long time ago.

Why not go with T-valves?
One Schrader valve sticks straight up,
but the other comes off at a 90 degree angle.
They're made of metal, nickel plated.
I just bought these ($20 each) from WingStuff.com. They arrived in a week and were stored, awaiting the next tire change on my ST,
which now will happen.... NEVER. Never for that particular machine, anyway.

If you have the type of TPMS that is integrated inside the wheel on the valve stem then you shouldn't replace the stems. Also I would not recommend to attach a 90 adapter but at most use an adapter that you put on only when checking PSI.
My AK 550 has this type of TPMS... on the valve stem inside the wheel.

If you have a "normal" stem (no TPMS on the inside part) then absolutely replace with a 90 deg stem at the next tire change. Amazon or many other places like local mc stores will have them for all price levels. They are all about the same quality IMO.
If you want or have an add-on TPMS then definitely use a T-stem as mentioned above. The TPMS would go on the straight up end and you check PSI on the side end.

T stems are just too ugly for me to use, I’m sorry. I’ve used 90 degree aluminum valve stems with external TPMS sensors for better part of 20 years and paid $30 a set for some stems and $10 set for others. I found no difference in functionality.

T-valve stems for me from FOBO. Both sets purchased have been flawless. Tried the “fleabay” version of 90° stems prior to and they leaked.

Compare prices - Hawkshead sells the T stems just like FOBO.

I can't see mine from the saddle (and barely the rest of the time.)
