I recently bought a 2015 Rocket III Roadster and having a great time removing the prior owner's stuff and installing the stuff I prefer. One of those preferences is FOBO Bike Tire pressure sensors. I installed T valves onto the Rocket's right angle valves as I have done in the past on my '06 Classic and my 2018 Touring model. Unfortunately something is apparently different and when I rode the bike forward into the garage the front wheel T valve hit the right side caliper and as best I can tell caused the threaded valve stem to get bent and I think a small crack near it's threaded base. So, before I could remove the sensor and T valve I lost over 30 lbs of air. Reinstalling and tightening everything did not help. aired the front tire up to 40 psi again and put its valve cap on and it seems to be holding air. However, when I tried putting the sensor directly onto the valve, without the T valve, the air leaked out again.
So, I will greatly appreciate help finding a replacement Rocket right angle air valve stem or an equivalent valve stem to fit a Rocket Roadster front wheel. Doesn't necessarily need to be a right angle stem but they are so much easier to use. Thanks.
