Searching for Dry Roads
Yup, a little searching will definitely save some $$$Same brand used to be 1/2 as much on ebay & amazon. It's worth a look.but a savvy buyer may be able to find them for less cha-ching.

Sounds like poorly written instructions.I think I'm going to install these in my next tyre change. I just checked it out and it said :
"Tighten first locking nut to 2.25Nm (20in-lb) to 4.5Nm (40in-lb), then attach second nut to double lock valve stem on motorcycle."
Does it mean you tighten it to 20 in-lb, then tighten the same nut again to 40? Then put on the 2nd nut? No torque value for 2nd one?
Should I put Loctite?
Thanks.
The brackets and the alternate units make it a bit confusing but I think they are just saying tighten somewhere between 2.25Nm to 4.5 Nm.I think I'm going to install these in my next tyre change. I just checked it out and it said :

Nice to hear from you.Tanker, we met at the Tech Day in nowthen this year. very nice bike by the way. I just changed tires for the first time myself. I was also worried about changing the valve stem, and didn't want the 90degree stems so, I went with the ones kurvygirl as well. with them being just a tad shorter it's far easier to get the air chuck in there to check pressure and inflate. I will also not have to replace them in the future. I would recommend them, and my advice if you haven't changed tires yourself before....when I lubed the tire it was much easier. I did the front without, and fought it every step, i did the back with lube, in out done!
+1 on the Kurvygirl short metal stems. They've been on my 07 since my first tire change more than 75,000 miles ago and are still working perfectly. I use a 90 degree angled-head tire gauge, so don't have a need for 90 degree stems.Tanker, we met at the Tech Day in nowthen this year. very nice bike by the way.
