Spirit Lake IA "Birthplace of Victory Motorcycles" | I have the Doran Tire Pressure Monitoring system. Works great! Up until now, I have used the external sensors. Now that I am changing my tires, I'm planning to switch to the internal sensors. I also plan on using Dyna Beads. Do any of you have any thoughts on whether I can use Dyna Beads with the internal sensors? |

Spirit Lake IA "Birthplace of Victory Motorcycles" | I'm sure Doran will default to NO for legal reasons. They say that you shouldn't use the external sensors ontop of long stems as the weight will cause stress on valve stems. I haven't had any issues with external, but it looks kinda funky! |

Beer Collins, Colorado (there is no fort) | Should be OK to use the two together-same question was asked on the GL1800 forum and the reply was:" Should not be a problem. I have the Smart Tire system and have run the beads for some 50,000+ miles with no problems. Keep in mind that centrifugal force will cause the beads to move to the outside diameter of the tire ( the tread area) while the pressure sensors are on the wheel down by the tire's inside diameter (the bead area).
Ken " I have no actual experience but it makes sense that the two will be occupying separate areas inside the tire-Brian |

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | How do you get the dynabeads in with the internal Doran sensors mounted? Do you do it while the tire is being mounted? I have been thinking of trying the Ride-On system instead of dynabeads.
