For my motorcycle it is pretty important to keep the air pressure to a accruate measurement when you are going around curves and over a hundred.

I have 4 different gauges. I've tested them all with other peoples giving me a total of 7 comparisons. My conclusion was reached by seeing which ones had the same readings. Of the 7 only 2 were the same. They both happened to be (different brands) the RV type. has the gauge with a small hose and a pressure release button.

I got one from Longacre racing. It's got a nice rubber shock resistant cover and seems to be very accurite and consistant. I use it for my race tires and I need consistancy above all.
