Someplace I saw a short hose designed to screw onto your tire valve stem.
Allowing you to check tire pressure without removing wheel fairings.
But now that I want to buy one, I can't find them.
Can anyone help?
 
Just about any auto supply store, or decent tire shop. Or,

Straight, 45, 90, 135, etc etc.

is great to keep in the hangar. Just use a band saw or cutoff wheel to remover the lock & it will go straight into the hole in your wheel pant. (edit: 'calibrate' the gauge on it to a known-good gauge; mine was about 10 lbs off.)

I have a couple of those auto parts valve extensions that I keep in the airplane tool kit in the event I need to fill up on the road. The ones I have screw into each other so a couple of the short stubbies is just right.
