Just found some 90* valve stem adapters at a local RV store.  Now I can check  my air pressure ;D
They are Wheel Masters  tire valve Extenders. Parts number W.M. #802990.

Trip Wire I agree with you. I had to put a straight stem in the last time I changed tires. What a pain in the wazoo. I did find a gauge that lets me check the air without making it go flat first. Then play hell airing it back up. The old tube had a 90* angle man what a difference.

Off set means it's not in the center, think like a car tire valve. You need one that's in the center, but has a 45 deg. angle in the stem. A centered one with straight stem would work, but checking and adding air would be a difficult task.

You got that right! Purchased my 800 used and it has the straight stem.  I never bother seeing if I need air because by the time I can get a readying I have let 5-10psi out of the rear tire...LOL  I just wrestle with the air hose until I get it attached and fill it back up.

Thanks for the info.  My riding buddy has a new tube 140/90-15, offset, it should work??

It's not just the size, but the 90 deg. valve stem you need to check for.  Here is a listing for what you need from parts unlimited:  http://www.parts-unlimited.com/part/getItemDetails.do?partIds[]=24545

Ordered a new rear tire on line but will need a tube.  What size tube do I need to order for a 150/80-16 tire?
