Tire Pressure Indicator Caps
Do these things really work, or would I just be tossing my money away? If they do work who would make the best ? I love the idea of visually seeing where my tire pressure is but they could be dangerous if not accurate.

I would not recommend them - can be dangerous to use.
I tried them and on first ride after install the clear cap on rear tire cracked & broke off (I think a piece of gravel hit it) causing the tire to rapidly deflate - lucky I was coming up to a stop sign after running a section of curves at a high pace when it happened. I removed the front one & also took them off my Goldwing when I got home & trashed all of them.

I've used these with pretty good success. They do indeed work and are pretty rugged.

I have not noticed any change in tire balance from using them and there is plenty of clearance on the back tire even with the 90° bend to the valve stem.
