    I have the T stems but haven't installed them yet.

    Any issues with yours so far?
    Working great! Zero problems so far. I check the accuracy of the gauge every month or so, and it's within 1 PSI of my expensive dial gauge. I love it! And it's pretty instructive to see the pressure change as you ride in different conditions...

    Got the FoBo system. Talks to my smartphone. I don't use it for "real time" monitoring although if I could see my phone while riding I could.
    I just use it to check psi and tire temps before heading out and in between stops.
    $100.
    Works for me.

    Cheers,

    I was contemplating the FOBO system, but really wanted something that was more integrated and didn't depend on another ancillary piece of equipment.

    I went ahead and purchased a Steel Mate TPMS this morning... will get a T-valve stem mounted in the rear wheel early next month when I put the C/T on and will run both of the TPMS sensors (one on rear T-valve stem and one on stock OEM stem on the front) until I replace the front tire down the road... then will install a T-valve stem in the front wheel.

    My major debacle/decision at the moment... is to where mount the receiver unit. Already have an analog voltmeter on the right side fairing area.... am contemplating alternate locations for it.

    I love the FOBO because it will let me know before I leave my garage. This is the only accurate way to check tire pressure before the tires heat up. If you have a compressor this works great. I always have my phone with me. The only problem is my wife complaining about the FOBO warning me from inside the house in the middle of the night. So I guess I have the extended wife warning system for free.

    I can't really tell from the picture.

    I had the t-valve installed on both the front and rear tires with no grinding.
    I highly recommend the t-valve!!!
    Once you are confident the tire pressure matches other gauges you can add air and check pressure on the phone.
