Smart cap seems like a good idea to me!
So I just ordered some on Ebay. $34.95
I will let you all know how they work out.

I got a set of these and installed them on my bike. Basically set the tire pressure and install the caps. They will flash red if PSI goes <> 4 psi from where they were when installed. Battery supposed to last 3 years and will flash yellow if they need changing. Battery is user serviceable. requires a secuity key to remove them. The caps dont stick out on either front or back of the wheel on my Nomad. I havent noticed any wheel balance issues since installing them. They say to use a drop of oil when installing as anti seize. Probably could use teflon tape also. They also offer some sort of roadside coverage for towing, fuel and battery jumps for a year. So far so good.
