All bikes should have them, one of the best mods to any bike. The times I have struggled in the past, usually in tour, have been frustrating.
I used one of your 'how to' videos to replace pads back brake on my Bonneville to get it through the MOT and your puncture repair tubeless tyre video on the following MOT day when I woke up to a nail and had to repair it before I could go, had to also call out AA man for flat battery - can't underestimate the value to Average Joe of these 'how to' videos
Thanks Dave, glad the videos were able to help you out... have a great weekend and ride safe mate!
Hiya Del and... Penny! I saw you at around 4:34. Hi!
Del, I have to agree about these 90º valve stems. When I got my Bandit they were already fitted and they make inflation such a breeze. Really nice demonstration of how to install them pulled off with your habitual style. Great video! Take care, my friends. Enjoy the weekend, be well and keep the rubber side down.
Ah, I'm always there keeping order lol Thanks so much for your kind words over the years, it's much appreciated, have a great weekend, keep well and ride safe! Pennyx
Great bit of kit Del! You made it look so easy...….😊. You and 'P' have you selves a wonderful weekend. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers Brother.
Thanks Shaun, we will, and you too, have a great weekend, D&Px
From the great state of Arkansas. Always love y’all’s videos been watchin. For awhile
Have fitted nice new gold angled valves to my TL1000R! Best mod for any bike! Nice Vid!
That is the world's best tire valve brother ! I wish all bikes came with one of those from factory ! 😅 Great video brother !!!!! getting the tire off the rim looked a an arm workout 🏋️♀️ 😂 Keep up the great work brother!!! Stay safe guys cheers from new York !!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ah yes! We all know this pain as motorcyclists, eh? Mine aren't quite so annoying to fill or check, but I definitely cast a frown at them every time I do put in air. I think the very next model year after mine they came from the factory as 90* jobbies, so there's that bit of mumble grumble too, lol. Great episode!
Isn't it always irritating when something as sensible as this isn't fitted across all motorcycles now! Have a great weekend buddy and keep safe.
My local tyre fitter installs these at an angle so when you're bike is on its side stand the valve is pretty much vertical. So easy to get the airline on.
Great video BTW. I installed these billeted racing valves on my GL1500 SE a few years ago due to the same reason. I filed the support tag for the old valves off so that both valves faced to the right when back on the bike which makes filling with air easier whilst on its side stand. I've heard of so many valves blowing out after hitting pothole etc and the risk is just not worth it. Best safety mod I have done to the bike and definitely a must. Highly recommended.
Thanks for the endorsement buddy, I'm glad it's a common modification!
Great Modification..thanks Delboy.
Nice video Del & Penny, excellent job mate All bikes should come with them, great mod. Hope you are both keeping well and the weather is getting better, have a great weekend and take care. Cheers
Thanks mate... sadly here they are forecasting snow Weds... ho hum, roll on summer! Enjoy your weekend, keep safe, D&Px
Thanks, man, for this chilling experience. Great music.
Dedication at its best 👌
With compliments from Romania🇷🇴
Thanks a lot!
Yes, these are brilliant!
I fitted these some time ago when I got the new rubber after my unplanned disambiguation back in October.
I nearly choked on my cornflakes when I said the new name of the wing . Ha, nice one, Del
Thanks buddy.. it seemed an appropriate name i suppose.. !!
Just had to replace the valves on my scoot. I managed the whole job without taking the wheels off the bike.
I used a bundle of clamps, a tyre leaver (to ease off the bead) and some tyre soap/gel
Just took out the valve stem, clamped the tyres and then gently eased the tyre off the bead.
Replaced the valve and then remade the bead with my air compressor.
Good call Blair, sounds like a win... as you may have noticed, I dropped one side off as I didn't want to clamp the tyre like you did these Bridgestone tyres are specified for Goldwings and they have super heavy duty side walls to carry the weight, they're practically like a run flat, and pinching it in clamps could distort the carcass and damage it... so I planned to fit it with one half levered off, which is why I wire brushed the valve hole first, then noticed all the left over rim sealant on the bead, so just in case it would lead to a future leak, I though I'd pull it all the way off and clean the bead thoroughly!
Got one of those on the front wheel of the FJR - Definitely a game changer! Always managed to wiggle the pump valve through the mag wheel on the rear though but when it comes to new rear tyre time, will make sure one of those is fitted to the rear too.
Hope you and the lovely P have a fantastic weekend mate!
Thanks for your kind words mate, you have a great weekend there yourself too, keep well and ride safe! D&Px
Front wheel, I have angle extension that I leave attached, some remove them after each check, makes it much better to get between the duel rotors.
wobbly sauce: good call mate, but something I might, respectfully share, I've had one of those work it's way loose by coming slightly unscrewed and as they depress the schrader stem, the tyre simply deflated whilst riding, pretty scary, so when I use them now I had a dab of threadlock if I'm going to leave them in situ (just in case)... and obviously I wouldn't use them on a rubber neck stem as the weight of them would bend it flat, but am sure you know that.
@@Moonfleet41 Indeed depends on the bike as some are... not the easiest to check pressures, that said the one that is left on gets checked before and after I check the pressures, front rubber is good the rear is the one that shows signs of age, both get replaced with the tyre changes, though am going to get metal angle ones next time.
I've never had a bike that did not come w/a 90 on it? thanks for the video!! 🤠
Great to add that touch of sealant before install. Save you from going it over again. I would say the 90 degree is excellent for those rims, but I wouldn't use them on a dirt bike, and my street bike has spoke wheels. When I get new tires, I will switch to strait metal ones though, and a touch of sealant.
I am wondering, since the 90 degree is metal and more mass, does it effect the balance on the wheel/tire assembly? Or unnoticeable?
It balanced up flawlessly mate, no change when I checked it!
love watching all your videos over the years have learnt a few tricks.
yes in deed they are awesome when you can't get right in there, just a question del it was hard to see in the video i couldn't see those thick flat washers in the inside after the rubber then the nut.
im sure it was on.
cheers from New Zealand
I need those type of valve stems on my StreetGlide.
Don't forget to rebalance the wheel/tire assembly.
My old Street Triple came with these 90° valves I'm very pleased to say.😊
Forget balance the tire ?? I just had mine replaced last year …. Glad it was 90 degree valve!! Makes life easier! Mine got broken for some reason. Like your straight one. 😮 I agree with your fans !!! Need a good scrub down !! 😅😂
After reading few reviews… rat bike?? Humm
There's something nice about having an old warhorse that you actually write pertinant information right on the part, like writing the tire pressure right there where you need it. My tractor and lawn mowers are thataway. I write tire pressure on the edges of the service manuals for my things as well so you don't even have to open the book, just look at the edge while the manual is closed up. It's nice to have the pretty ones as well, but the workhorses keep us going, eh?
Couldn't have put it better myself Tommy, the tyre pressures written on I first spotted on the old post office vans lol... and long live the work horse!
Would you not have to balance the wheel after this as a metal valve is a lot heavier?
Correct, I did.
Just done that to my front and rear wheels for the same reason bleeding air every few days I should have done it a long time ago cheers Del
Hi mate, great video (as always!) - one question (and apologies if this has already come up..) did you not re-balance the wheel as the tyre had been off it? Cheers
Yes mate, threw it up on the balance frame and it was bang on, just the same as before..
I used these on my Stratoliner. Huge difference used sealant on one, neither leaking after 4 years.
Good video, nice to watch a pro make it all look easy. 👍
Thanks 👍
Reminder for me to get the set I need for the Honda Pan as I’m fitting tires the spring! 😊
Good call, a fabulous upgrade, just don't forget a little dab of threadlock as obviously you can't get to it to tighten it up.. but you knew that lo
Love the 90° valve, could use that on my Ultra Classic!
No need to rebalance the wheel with the added weight of the valve and new tyre radial location?
Hi Harold, good to hear from you... yes did balance, didn't show on this video as have other stand alone videos on the topic. Have a great weekend there, keep safe, D&Px
Good cheap insurance there Del. You know that valve stem would have failed some cold, rainy night on a road with lots of traffic. Looks like terrible winter weather and messy roads are something we have in common on both sides of the Atlantic. I'm not familiar with Gold Wings but it looked like one front caliper was linked to the rear brake and one wasn't. Can this be the case ? Sorry for the rookie question. 😊 You and Penny please stay safe out there on the winter mean streets. Blessings and peace my friends.❤👍👍
Hey Rick. You're right, i don't thing it would have been long before that old rubber valve became a problem.. And well spotted too, Yes, the front right caliper is actuated by the handlebar lever, and the front left caliper is on the foot pedal along with the rear... simple and effective early linked brakes..! Thank you for your awesome support as always., Have a good weekend and keep safe tyoo.. D&Px
Out all that supersized bike, there’s only one clean shiny bit.
Time for a detail video.
I wish Triumph had fitted 90-degree valve stems on my 2019 Scrambler 1200XC. The tubeless rims they spec'ed are beautiful, and I dig the spoke pattern on them, I just don't know why they pulled-up short on the stems. I know it's a minor gripe, but 90-degree stems would have been ideal (on the rear wheel, at least).
I have to agree Paul, my 1200XE is also straight, solid stems, and on both rims it's a fiddle to get the infaltor on to them, and yet on the spoke wheel Tigers they fit the 90 degree stems, just doesn't make sense and I will be changing them on the first new set of tyres!
Hi Del good job mate hope you and Penny are keeping well the good weather is just round the corner The Goldwing looks just it could do with a spring clean mate
Thanks buddy👍, we're both good, and yeah, it's overdue for some mild weather and a little sunshine, but forecasting snow for midweek, so it looks like it's not done with us yet..lol!
There's a gun turret emerging from your wheel rim!
Peace and love Db and Pp ✌️🧡🤗
You smashed you’re way through that mate 👊🏻 simple & effective 😀
Thanks buddy 👍 I imagine you've got them as standard on your Tiger?!
@@Moonfleet41 yup, as far as I can remember 😀
@@tinks43 WHAT ?.. you mean you don't check them every day ....lol
@@Moonfleet41 once a moth for ride out 🤣 did it last week ready for 2moro but have brain fog. Sure you’re right though 👍🏻
Yep, as you said, Triumph and Honda have 'em, great idea!
Love that song at the end too!
4:35
Ahh, Pen Wan Kenobi - Lens Queen! (Across the World, young bucks now drop to their knees, hopeful for a flash of ankle)
Where were we? - ah, worth checking the weight of y'new valve against the old one, wheel balance 'leapabout' wise, your artisan 1 ounce 'Dad-made-it-in-the-forge from solid brass & lead wire' replacement, may call for a tad of adjustment : )xx
ha ha I'll tell her the new title, she'll love it lol Have a wonderful weekend mate, thanks for all the smiles!
Thanks Del .
Nice one delboy great videos mate keep them coming
Thanks mate 👍
Would you not not need to rebalance the wheel after fitting the new valve?
Check it at least, which i did, and it was bang on. !
You could at least give the old girl a wash 🤣👍and I don't mean the good lady that came in with a cup of tea great video mate 👍🏍
A wash?... you don't wash a rat bike, that would be sacrilege, you just oil the moving bits and replace the weary out bits!
The rotor covers are doing a great job
Rat bike ?? I wasn’t aware has a nickname… where’s its tail ?? Lol
Oh I wish I had them on my Sport Glide.👍
Good to hear from you mate, have a great weekend!
I wish they made tubes like that for my spoke wheels.
Quick question- that elbow valve weighs more than the original. Does it affect the balance of the wheel?
Nice smooth video. Love your work
Threw the wheel up on the balance frame and it was cock-on, so no change!
Not too shabby 👍
nice just wondering did any of the discs bend or warp? do brakes hit discs at all when riding?
if not you are very lucky, other them that great job.
Did you not notice that all the levering was done on wooden blocks placed under the tyres... and also solid discs, tough as old boots mate, maybe not so with floating discs!
Hello delboy what is the black stuff you pasted around the rims and also the blue liquid in the sealey bottle. Thanks
Perhaps you skipped... 7:22
@@Moonfleet41 perhaps i did 😂, thank you ever soo much for your dedication and consistency.
Nice video! Sorry for offtopic - but whats the name of the song at the second part of the video?
Here you go mate... the chap's name is Andy Gregory, he would really appreciate the support if you drop him a line, here's a link to their page, you can actually download their songs for yourself: www.reverbnation.com/chrisgregory
Hi Del, looking at how grubby that front wheel is, and all that housing you have to remove to get to everything, do you feel a project coming on for the Gold Wing?. That would be something different.
A true master at work 👌
Lovely little mod there Del
Nick Australia
Thanks Nick, have a great weekend!
We need a video of when you wash that beast lol
Maybe wrong but shouldn’t that valve be accessible from the other side for ease of access when on side stand? Do you do many miles on that beast with all the bikes in the garage
Look closely Mark at the metal post the other side of it that it would foul on... the tiny metal post is designed for the original Goldwing fitting that had a plastic clip that stopped it from bending out when it was spinning... so to the left is the only way it can be fitted. It would indeed have been a tad easier the other way, but with the bars turned to full right lock on the side stand the wheel's upright, as you know, so equal access.
@@Moonfleet41 what metal post? It needs rotating 180 degrees imo.
@@mpeo1970 4:22 look behind the little valve, you can see it clearly there, it will foul on that.
Pmsl . 'CVO SHED WING'. Like it. 👍
Might as well resolve the issue with a better alternative, great video Sir, and a quick snippet of Penny, have a great weekend to you both
Thanks, you too mate!
Are they suitable for a Busa and higher speed.
How much was the bead splitter mate and how long have you had it? Never seen one before, just getting into your vids as a new biker👍 great work
Thank you, and here's a link, this is the one: www.spanner-monkey.co.uk/tyre-bead-breaker-119971?search=TC968&description=true
Great video Del! How has your health been? Is your heart still doing well?
God bless 🙏
Thanks for asking Ryker, my health is 'work in progress' but we both treat every day as a gift.
Nice winter job. Now it's perfect for years to come. With fixes like the zero degree valev befor we all know sometimes things work against you - and they stay longer than expected. Have a great start into the weekend, Günter/Nürnberg (still some salt on the roads, so no riding this weekend)
Oh dear, it looks like winter's not finished with us yet, we still have the salt too, and snow forecast for Wednesday!
I have them on my bike, one of the best alerations done so far. I swear by them, mind you I do swear far too much anyway, but hey ..... no one is perfect :)
You can never swear too much Sir... as long as it's in context lol
All bikes should have those valve stem
90deg stems are the best! I upgraded Melly's Speedmaster the last time we changed the tires out and it made all the difference. The back stem was always impossible to get a tire gauge or air hose on. Ride safe!
Mike & Melly
Sure thing brother, it's always an issue... wriggling in between discs on the front and messy chains on the rear, I don't understand why all bikes don't use them! Keep safe you two, chat over the weekend bruv, love to the beautiful Melly, D&Pxx
Hi del penny hope your both well.
I hope you decide your next project is a make over on the goldwing .
Later peeps
Hey Simon, how wonderful to hear from you, hope you're keeping well there, Take care and have a great weekend! D&Px
Yeah, I ditched the rubber valve stems a while ago. I keep the angled ones on hand too, just in case my friends still have the rubber ones on their rims, as I typically assist with their tire changes. Can you guess who has a tire changing machine in this case?. Can't remember the last time I had the old rubber valve stems on my wheels but very happy with the angled ones. They definitely make filling the tire with air easier IMO.
You're so right, I can't understand why straigh valves are ever fitted and wait, you have a tyre machine... I'm officially jealous! It's top of my list...
No wheel balancing mate or is there enough vibes from the old girl 😂😂aye🤘
Threw it up on the balance frame and it was cock-on so didn't see a point in videoing it!
Fitted them on my Beemer,all bikes ought to have them👌
When adding an angled valve to a wheel that did not have one previously, make certain it will not strike the brake caliper as the wheel rotates. I would rather not say how I learned this.
Good call buddy.
The new valve stems are too shiny. You need to dirty them up a bit 😂
weren't you supposed to balance the tire?
Correct, and it was done.
Could I get this retrospectively fitted to a Harley rim Del if done the way you did it? The rear tyre is an absolute b%$#h to pump air into.
Great video👏
Yes you can, as long as it's tubeless then you're good to go.!
No grease at all?
It's the simple things that make the difference
Thanks Del/Penny. just got back from a night in ilfracombe on the bike just thawing out eating my dinner watching your latest, (never miss one) what a nice surprise to hear the tune too cheers all the best F*** the trolls..... peace
Hey Andy, glad you're back safe and sound, it looks like winter's not finished with us yet... but hey ho, before you know it, we'll soon be moaning about the heat lol Have a great weekend, D&Px
Wash it
Thanks, I'll get you a bucket and sponge lol
🤣🤣🤣
yep, those are a lifesaver been using them for years
