Tiregard wireless pressure monitor

I was wondering if anyone has tried the TireGard Tire Pressure Monitoring System on a Touring model.

Big Bike Parts, Inc - Aftermarket Motorcycle Accessories & Parts

Specifically, I'm looking to find out:

1. If, given the 90 degree bend in the stem, there are any clearance issues with the calipers (the specs say the sensors are 20mm tall) hitting the sensors. Eye balling it with a ruler, it looks like it should clear, but it would be good to hear that someone has one and it fits.

2. How well does the system work? Any issues?

Thanks,

Gene

I have it and use it regularly.

1. There are no clearance issues on the R3T. I can't speak for the Classic or Roadster.

2. It works very well. Allows you to set high and low pressures and will warn you if either is exceeded. It will also advise about tire temps - important down here in South Florida. Gives an illuminated and vibration warnings. Just be aware that the sensors will "go to sleep" after about 20 minutes at rest, so it will not update cold tire pressures unless you rock the bike back and forth a bit.

Well spent money.

They had a review of this product in Motorcycle Consumer News. Only good things to say. They recommended having your wheels rebalanced after adding them since they weigh somewhere around 13 grams.
