    I'm also running the Steelmate TP-90 on two separate bikes. They work as Will posted, very well and easy to install. I have the T Vale stems on one bike and checking PSI before I ride is simple. The other bike is a pain having to remove the TPMS screw on transmitter just to check PSI.

    ASLO keep in mind most all TPMS transmitters will NOT read accurate PSI after the bike has been sitting. The transmitters shut them self off and do not reactivate until you are moving above 15mph. So you can not walk up to a bike that has been sitting for a few days and get correct PSI. The system will have kept the last PSI reading in memory.
    The FOBO guys have said it is active all the time but I would think battery life would be very short if that is the case.
    I've spent most my money on Motorcycles and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    I think this is true. Could explain possibly why I am enjoying such long battery life in the Steel Mate sensors. Why should they be constantly beaconing when the bike is not in use?
