Placed my order today. Look forward to having it on my AE

Question -- can you order just the transmitter/valvestem portion?

reason: I'd like to install on multiple bikes, then just move the monitor from bike to bike -- then you don't have to shell out $300 per bike?

Is that an option? Do they sell replacement parts?

Yep, I paid for mine last night. It's on it's way.

Now I am thanking Tucker Rocky for falsely stating to me that my Avon Storms would be in my hands by Nov 13th, cuz if they had arrived as promised, I'd have to dismount them again to install the LDL Tire Watch sensors. :glare:

VancoSport works some serious magic to ship items from Cyprus to the States in lickety-split time. I bet the LDL Tire Watch will probably be here before the Avon's arrive.... :lol:

 

[BrunDog]

Maybe we should have gotten more than 5 to group buy this thing?! If we get 10, what is the price? 15? 20?

Ordered tonite - now to see how long it'll take my local shop to scare up those Avon Storms everyone keeps talkin' about...

I'm anxious to hear feedback on the storms. I recently became a believer in Avons. After trying them for the first time I think they run circles around the PRs.

Anybody know the difference in price between this and the Smartire?

You can get the Smartire from G. Mccoy for about $160ish...

Are those FNG years or IronButt years?

I was worried about having to change batteries before I trade-in for the 2010 FJR1900 with run-flats. :turn:

THANKS AGAIN

i can't comment on tire watch but smartire has served me well for over 50,000 km and countless tire changes without a problem.

sounds like very similar technology delivering the same information.

i wouldn't be without it.

Ummm this review says 2 years, but I guess those are brit years, not US ... probably depends a lot on how much you use the backlight, etc. too

The question VancoSport was answering was referring to the battery life of the transmitter (installed in the wheel).... that's 5 years.

The article in that blog says battery life is 2 years for the display unit... and you're right, that's obviously gong to be dependent on how much the backlight is used.

Vancosport or Experienced Farklers,

Will the transmitter accept any of the myriad 90 degree valve stems?

THANKS
