Just jump right in you old farts!
Hi John. I'll bite. :)
I don't have a new Wing (I still have a 2014 F6b), but for the sake of discussion, what about the product seems to indicate you can't use it on the bike? Is the the mass, physical clearance, or some other concern?
Kind Regards,
rdbonds
Maybe ask over at https://www.gl1800riders.com/forums/ they love talking about the new wing.
I see the new FoBo comes with a metal tee stem, I don’t remember having that on my 2014 F6B.
2Wheelsforme- why is that? The two bikes are practically the same?
The new wings have TPMS already
Yes and no duke, it monitors the tires and when it gets low it lets you know, but you don’t know tire pressure
Really? I thought it would. I’ve seen videos where guys look at the pressure before they ride. I never saw it in person though.Quote:

Update: I've had the FOBO now for about 3 weeks, if I am in range of the bike I can call up the exact pressures of each tire along with temperatures. It has preset alarms that will alert me when something isn't right. For now, life is good!

I installed the FOBO2 on my 2013 a week before the rally. It is a nice system and makes monitoring easy...however...I am now experiencing consistent air loss in both tires. I have removed and replaced the caps numerous times, tightening them both snug and "gorilla" tight with the same results. Additionally, mine did not come with the T valves as indicated. I apparently must order them separately which was disappointing.
Yea, those T-Valves are pretty much a "must" when using exterior mounted TPMS sensors. Makes adding air (when necessary) much easier.
I had to source the T-valves separately when I ordered my Steelmate TPMS sensors/system as well.
I agree with the ease but am struggling with the thought of paying $32 for a couple of valve stems....
That's with shipping costs from the Philippines I presume? I believe that's where I ordered mine from about 5 years ago. Bought three of them.Quote:

I actually did not see those on the FOBO site. I had just run a search for FOBO T valve and Wingstuff was the first link. They want 15.99 each.
Thanks for the link to the others.
Do you know what the top temperature range should be on the rear tire? I’m running the original Stones with 41 in the rear tire and I’m wondering at what temperature the alarm should go off.Quote:
