TOPIC:

What tire valve size is used on KZ tubeless wheels?  How about the size on a Vulcan or Concours?
I'm looking to get a 90 degree air valve for the rear.
The wheels are from a 1980 KZ550C & have Tubeless cast into them.  
Many Kawasaki Vulcan/Concours models came stock w a 90 valve, but I don't know what size they are either. doh.
Thanks.
 

Went through this recently with my 86 Voyager - it was very difficult to get air in the rear tire with the straight schrader valve so close to the wheel hub.   As you've probably discovered, the valves come in different diameters.  In my case, I ended up using a 90 degree valve stem for a VN1500 (PART# 16126-1191) which was the right fit (may or may not be the right fit for your application).

Thanks.  I did see that info at Partzilla but don't know the size.  There's another one (almost identical) that's #16126-1365, but I don't know what size it is either.  For some reason these are cheaper than the one you got.  I've only seen New ones on EB.

The air valves on the motorcycle measure 8mm as does the hole in the original wheel. was too lazy to check myself last week. doh.
So I ordered an 8mm K&L air valve. 32-8209. made in Japan. I guess it'll work. we'll see, hee.
The one I got has the gasket & is similar to the 32-8224 where it mounts to the motorcycle.
Below is an air valve info page I put together. All of the part numbers in blue are 90 degrees. 
The Yamaha 00025 part is less expensive than the Kaws. www.partzilla.com/product/yamaha/93900-00017-00
