I have to admit that checking tire pressure before each ride gets a little old. I recently purchased accu-pressure tire caps. Its kind of nice being able to look at the cap and know that the tire has the correct pressure. If anyone is interested I can give you the information. And they are cheap. $4.00 a piece and you can order any pressure you want.   Henrik Posted on Wednesday, July 21, 2004 - 10:12 am:        Be careful trusting those caps too much. They were reviewed in Motorcycle Consumer News - a very trustworthy source - and didn't get very high marks. AFAIR the caps were too inaccurate to be truly useful. They'll give you a heads up if the pressure is *way* out of whack, but considering how sensitive the XBs are to tire pressure, I'd use a high quality gauge frequently as well.

I admit that I wasn't too sure how well they would work, but for $4 I thought I'd give it a shot.   420at145mph Posted on Wednesday, July 21, 2004 - 10:26 am:        just get a good gauge and some zaplights
