Why did Triumph orient the rear valve stem toward the brake disc side of the wheel? I have small hands (that are always looking for "large hands" if you know what I mean) and I have difficulty getting in to check the air pressure of the rear tire. A person with few brains coulda figured that one out. No, I haven't had the rear tire replaced and the stem messed with (only 5100 miles thus far) but when I do, I'm hoping the stem can be reoriented to the more "practical" side of the wheel. I know that will most likely throw the whole **** bike off kelter at 80+ mph but hey, I have only one thing in mind, "Simplicity".
Also, most folks ogling at the Rocket will be really disappointed at the altered valve stem scheme with one facing the street side & the other facing the curb side. That's going to spoil the whole **** presentation, isn't it.
On second thought, may the valve stem orientation should remain as Triumph intended it to, right?
NOT!
See ya
