Valve Stem

[zcarron]

My rear valve stem is wanting to leak.I angled steel stems to replace front and rear.Has any one replaced the stems by letting the air out and break the bead to change the stem? Then air the tire up?I have read on another site where they did but don't know if it would work on the Goldwing. :headscratch:

I changed my stems to metal stems the last time I changed tires so my tires were off but there is no reason you couldn't break the bead, replace the stem, and then air it up again.

Which ones did you order: straight or angled?

Can you use angled on the 1100? I had been told I could not. Let us know if you can.

Requires some modification to that rib in the center if the rim but these are what I mean.
