    FOBO tire monitoring

    Just to be clear we can’t use these on the new Goldwing right?

    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

    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?

    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.

    I can't imagine the Bluetooth signal interfering with the OEM TPMS so the only question would be physical clearance for the sensors on the stem of the tires.

    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!
