...need a new bolt for the rear one (noticed a crack in it) so thought I may as well replace the front and rear when I change tyres in a couple of weeks.

So quick question... will these fit? 8mm? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 2717wt_700

Sorry... being lazy and cant be arsed to go out to garage!

Don't know if they fit, but I'd look for something in stainless steel rather than these, you really don't want corroding valves!

They should be ok, but I got a set of angled ones HERE

Since it's a pain in the proverbial trying to use garage air lines and you're making the change anyway I'd suggest you consider angled ones.

iirc italian bikes have a different size apeture to the rice burners - ask at a reputable tyre fitters and they will tell you

The seller also queried my choice and was happy that I'd ordered the right ones for an Aprillia.

Not tried fitting them yet though.

angled ones really are the job, my tyre fitter had them in stock no problems.
