80 kz550ltd....Never replaced one before and there are 17 million choices lol. Right now they are straight metal screws on style. I'd like bent to make it easy. Does price dictate quality for th these? Can anyone suggest good ones? Thank you, have a great day!

I cannot be much help, but my favorite one was a metal one with a 90 degree bend to the side. It was held on with a nut. It made checking and adjusting the pressure on the rear tire of my old Concours 100 times easier than the typical straight rubber valve.

TexasKZ. Do you know what hole size a KZ wheel would use? I need to get an angled air valve stem. Thanks.

Sadly, no. I am one of those lazy people who pay to have my tires changed, so I just ask and the valve magically appears.
