Buggered Air Valve Stem

[RockOn]

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.

I sold my '13 Roadster, but may still have two right angle valve stems (new) on hand. I'm away from home, but can look if you want me to.

You can order them from Hermy's part # is T2006615, but like most things Triumph you'll probably have to wait for them to order the parts first. Here's the link....

Thanks J-Man, yesterday I Emailed the local motorcycle tire installer to see if they have a valve that would work. I don't expect to hear back from them until Monday. I will let you know what they say. So, don't turn the garage upside down looking for those valves just yet. Thanks again.
