Anyone know where to get an angled valve stem for the rear wheel of an 82' Kz550C? or at least the size of the valve stem? Mine's a bitch to put air in, i'm just gonna replace it

If there's a cycle shop near you, they might have an angled valve stem or possibly can get it from PartsUnlimited.
The one linked below is available at various places, such as DennisKirk & probably EB.
There are also 90 degree valve stems available.

PartsUnlimited --- Angled Valve Stem MC-945
edit: this one may not be suitable for street use. and it could be the wrong size anyway.

yerp, contacted my local mechanic cuz i need the tires balanced anyway and he said he had one. too afraid of ordering one and having it be the wrong size

I'm glad you asked about valve stems and mentioned the hole sizing. I need to install a new tire soon & I don't think I would have thought to order a new valve stem beforehand or considered the hole size. The straight one on there now is kind of a pain with a pump I use & I have no idea what size the hole is. doh.



....

If I find out I’ll let you know, I’ll ask my mechanic what the size was 

Thanks. In case you didn't notice it, that valve stem I linked from the PartsUnlimited catalogue may not be suitable for street bikes.

What size was it?
