Is there an American made digital tire gauge?

its all good kdm, corrupt union membership is declining daily anyway. I agree greedy CEO's, but union labor rates justify companies such as Boeing moving south or to China.  Union bosses have no place in society robbing workers, companies, and everyone except Joe Biden and them.

Again, its great to see membership declining daily.

Enjoy the chinese toothpaste =)

While I agree that we should buy products "Made In U.S.A." I do get a chuckle from the irony since you are riding a Japanese motorcycle...why didn't you buy a Harley?

Today's Harley's are not as American as most folks think. Now if you said Victory, or the up and coming Motus, well now it would be point taken..

As this thread appears to be morphing into a general discussion on 'made in America' products, it might be helpful to understand what 'made in America' means....

Going back to Victory, I would assume that some or all of the electronics would not be 'made' here and if the circuit cards or ECUs were, then they would be made of components not of this country.  Unless, of course, Victory doesn't use any electronics at all and is controlled by points (See below).  So while a product may be assembled here using American labor  and American sourced parts there is probably some percentage of off shore materials.  That percentage can determine if the 'American Made' moniker can be used on a product.

Update:  The V92C used Italian Brembo brakes and a British made electronic fuel injection system.....  They are still assembled in America but Polaris has outsourced some of it's production (not the Victory from what I understand) to Mexico.

I found the Slime digital tire pressure guage at a Local Wal-Mart (Federal Way WA)...they must be discontinuing the guage because it was marked down to $7.50. I would have bought more, but they only had one.

Jaxter -you gotta give us a bigger picture of your avatar- your'e killin' me ! Who is that ?

[Jaxter]

I don't know who it is in the avatar. Now I am really confused...I have an analog Accu Guage (RA60X) with the 90 degree fitting, and when I check my front tire (on the Connie) it reads 43 PSI, the new digital Slime guage I just bought reads 38.8 PSI...and to help decide...the Connie reports the pressure at 47 PSI...where can I find a guage that I trust?

OK here is the avatar...enjoy

I like the looks of that one, and was thinking of buying one, but Walmart's website reports it as out-of-stock in all the stores near me.

I have a Slime gauge that I like, though.  This one:


Easy to use on the motorcycle or car.  But I do have 85* valve stems on the bike, so almost any gauge is easy to use.

Phil, you're a very clever and creative guy.  I have a couple of your products on my bike and am impressed with their usefulness and quality.  If you can't find an American tire pressure gauge to fill your needs, why don't you just go to your shop and make your own?  We know you can do it and we're all rooting for you.  Once you've created what you want you can then sell one more of your creations to those of us who want to buy American in spite of the fact that we all ride a bike form Japan.
