Funny, but I checked. Batteries are in the "package contents".
NEENER-NEENER!!!!!! :cheeky:

More than I'd expect to pay for such a thing, but besides that, has anyone had any experience with this or anything similar?

I just scored one on ebay for $31 + $10 shipping. This one has 3 caps for a trike. :yahoo:

Sure hope batteries are included. :beg:

If not, Big Lots has a big assortment of the little flat batteries. Might check the 99 cent stores too, more common places like Radio Shack will rape ya for them.

I'm a big fan of the .99cent store! We have one of those battery outlet stores here that has every kind of battery there is, but they ain't cheap. As a last resort they'll have what I need.

I went to radio shack for two of those batteries for my pressure gauge and they wanted $5 each, I could buy a new gauge for that. So I went 2 doors down to Big Lots and bought a lazier pointer with 3 batteries for $1.50. You gotta watch those guys. :shock:

yeah my wife needs to own stock in .99 cent only and dollar tree... we also shop big lots and gardenridge.. ( not for goldwing stuff).. and you can also get the batteries at walley world but again about 3/4 of the radio shaft..

Radio Shaft :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy:
I never heard that one before, I'm going to start using that. :clapping:

 

[BigAndrew]

Radio Shaft... :smilie_happy: Lol, Me and my friends come up with names like that for a few different stores, We call Publix, Pube-Licks, Taco Bell, Taco Hell, Wal-Mart, Wal-Fart, Winn-Dixie, Winn-Dick-Me :mrgreen:

The TireGard I got from ebay finally showed up yesterday. This one has 3 sensors for a trike/3 wheeler set up.

Comes with sensors, recievers, batteries, and anti-theft device.

I don't really expect to need to deter theft, but they might help to keep them from flying away on the highway.

This is a very expensive setup everywhere I looked, but I found this one on ebay with a .99 cent starting bid. The auction ended with 10 bids, winning bid was $31 and $10 for shipping from Texas.
I haven't had the chance to mess with them yet, but I'll let you know how they do after useing them for awhile.

Hmmmmm..... for that price, it would make a nice gift, wouldn't it?
...........................................................................................NOT! :mischief: :mischief: :smilie_happy:

 

[dan filipi]

Does it come with batteries?? :smilie_happy:

Yes

:clapping: Good deal!
I guess you can program the thing for just two tires, right? Or just ignore the "extra" data from the 3rd wheel?
That's pretty kewl, and a decent price, for sure. :good:

 

[scdmarx]

I wonder if I can set it low enough to monitor suspention air?

Now THAT would be shweet!

You prolly could...in that case, you prolly would have needed an extra sensor. Two for the tires, and two for the suspension(frt/rr).
Those sensors look kinda hefty...do they weight very much, or does the camera add a few pounds? Just looking at them, it appears they might be heavy enough to throw the wheel balance off. :headscratch:

Well darn it. I just don't keep those kinds of scales handy anymore. But the best I can figger, with the battery laying on top of it, it weighs in at just about 6 Amber Bock bottle caps. Don't know for sure how that sincronizes with your scale. :whistling:

Might be enough to rebalance the front tire depending on just how picky a guy wants to be. Then again.....maybe un-noticeable? I don't think you'd feel any difference at all on the rear tire.

 

[kah92340]

I'm just amazed that you can balance that after 6 Amber Bock's. :salute:

Why?

 

[kah92340]

Well let's just say I don't drink much anymore and get a buzz after just a couple of beers, so trying to balance the ruler and caps after 6 beers would be tough. Or maybe not when I used to drink it was no problem to put away 6 and still function properly(at least it seemed that way ). :grin: :grin:

 

[scdmarx]

Well let's just say I don't drink much anymore :grin: :grin:

Well, due to recent cutbacks, I've been relearning the American beer thing. I guess it's not so bad once you learn to tolerate that baking soda after taste.

 

[AApple]

:good: I think you're good on the weight. I was thinking they were prolly 8-9 bottle caps... :mrgreen:
