A question about wheel rims and tyres. Originally before powdercoat I had a 90% bend tyre valve which I take it they removed and wondering do tyre places replace with new ones like cars. Will it have a 90% angle so I can inflate it or have I got to go and buy a new one from ducati. I see there is a part no in manual. I will also need one for the rear rim as was brand new.

Buy new ones from Ducati, car valves won't fit.

I aint that daft LOL. I wont go to kwik for bike tyres.

I have seen some for sale I just wondered whether motorcycle tyre shops can provide them when I go to get my tyres fitted. Obviously not then.

Thats cheaper than the ones on ebay. Im going to protwins 2moro for my mudguard brackets. Do you reckon I should put angled ones front and back.

Place where I get my tyres done replaces mine for similar metal angled ones - can't remember exactly how much, but way cheaper than that... sorry..

No worrys. I have them now. Do you reckon I should fit them myself or ask tyreman to do so. I see that they have a ruber seal 'o' ring. I guess they go in dry and no need for any silicone.
