I have different stems that are 45 degrees aprox. They do make it easier to fill tire I suppose. Not sure of the brand or what they cost.
That price is for two stems I think it was - still kinda pricey. Nice color choice's some would like that.
Let us know if you go for them.

They would be difficult to use on the front rim due to the double lip for the spokes, unless they are really tall to clear them. One posted a while ago also had to slightly enlarge to opening in the raised center rib of the rear rim to allow for the slightly wider stem.

Used them on my ST1300 and they were great! Nicely crafted and made topping off the air a bit easier. As stated previously, might need some modification to use them on the SuperT.

My FJR came with them already installed by the PO. Definitely nice. I don't see how they could work on our bikes, with that ridge for the spokes.

Those linked above won't work, but if you can find some that are simply bent (as opposed to flush) they may.

45 degree that might work:

90 degree, but it looks a little close:

The 45 degree seems winner...

I just carry a valve stem extension (bought at Harley shop when I had a Harley), it just goes down between the spokes, screws on the valve stem and I check and add air accordingly. I think it cost me $9.95. Actually a nice little product. If interested the part is:

Did anyone try to use these yet? I've got a spare set and am changing tires today, wondering if they will fit.

That went right over my head.

Anyhow, confirmed yesterday that the 82-degree valve stem doesn't work. The base is too short.
