I woudn't pay that much. There is a tire pressure gauge provided with the spyder tool kit. I check tire pressure every other week or depending on how many miles I put on.

What the heck do you need this for? I have a round pressure gauge (8.00) and a tire pump...I check the pressure every month or two...don't have problems unless the bike sits through seasons...

You can get a great, portable, pump for about 50.00...

$200.00 for whatever that thing does is not necessary...just check and pump, when needed...

I agree . . .

Interesting and useful, but unnecessary.

Two things though, the stem sensors may be too big to fit on the rear wheel with out hitting the belt sprocket. And am I the only person to think that the stem should be on the right side of the rear wheel - it is a real pain to take and adjust the pressure of the rear wheel.

Nope, I feel the same way. It was brought up to the engineers at the 2008 Spyder Homecoming (by Roaddog maybe?) and they basically blew off the question as I recall. I guess they don't think its a problem where it is.

Regarding the sensor, if I had a spare $225, I'd try it.
