    Ya, I thing I'm going to get some off show chrome. I don't plan to do the tpms, and i agree with replacing. I'll probably take the clips off so the tire shop doesn't loose them, lol. See any issue with these?

    Those are what I use. They work great with no problems whatsoever.

    Punctures are pretty rare, and usually cause a slow leak, so TPMS is hardly a 'must have' item. It is nice that they warn you early. But in nearly 700,000 miles of riding I've only had to repair 3 tires at the roadside. Those were all decades ago, with tube type tires that lost air very quickly. A tubeless 'blowout' is virtually unheard of.

    One thing about TPMS can be a bit scary: they show how hot that rear tire gets. Recently leaving Sturgis my rear was nearing 125 degrees. No wonder they don't last very long!
