[QUOTE="na1g, post: 813354, member: 18779"] Over the many years of driving, street riding and trials competition, I have accumulated a variety of pressure gauges. A 40-year old Dunlop stick gauge, an AccuGauge type ("Brookstone") dial gauge with a 12" hose and bleed valve, a stick type that came with my '92 Concours, a digital stick that came with an AMA membership, and a NAPA $5 stick. I have compared readings several times and they are all within one psi. The dial gauge is harder to get on the valve but the bleeder valve makes pressure adjusting easy. The stick gauges fit on the valve pretty well but you have to be sure the sliding scale doesn't hit anything when it pops out. The free AMA digital is what I carry. The numbers are kinda small but it gets on the valve easily. The rear wheel valve is easiest to access with a saddle bag removed. And where is it written that the front wheel will always be positioned with the valve between the fork tubes whenever I want to check pressures? pete :cold: [/QUOTE]
