Another Car Tip to Argue Over : )

The link for the right angle extensions look like they would be an efficient and very helpful accessory for my touring motorcycle, access to the valve stems on it are difficult to reach with an air hose or to check the pressure.

The system for bolting it into place requires it to be positioned like that. You could probably flip it over, but then it could rattle around. It would eventually wear a large hole in the floor. The tire would fall out, and the car behind you would run over it. That would cause the driver to lose control and suffer serious injuries. The lawsuit would ruin you. 
You can use duck tape to secure the spare tire, or to patch the hole, or to bandage serious injuries.

Or maybe JB Weld or superglue.

Jerry, Did you know you can buy run flat tires? You need to check your tire pressure often, or install a pressure senor in each wheel, and radio receiver to keep constant pressure check, and display value on each tire. On any tire a blow out cannot be healed by a can of goo.

I didn't know they still made them. I imagine they would be heavy and expensive. The last time I had a flat was over twenty years ago. One thing I like about my Honda is the absence of those pressure sensors in the wheels. They cost about $100 each and add to the cost and complication of tire changes. I did put a pair of sensors in my motorcycle tires, though. The LCD display showed temper and pressure of each tire.
I don't like those cans of goo, and neither do the people who change tires.
