Checking tire pressure is too easy now!
Pro:These ensure that I'll check my tire pressure every ride. The app works well and the sensors seem reasonably accurate based on my comparison to a hand held pressure gauge.The app lets you set a minimum, goal, and maximum tire pressure for each tire. If you exceed your limits, an obnoxious alarm will go off!The app has an overlay setting that can be enabled/disabled to let you view your tire pressures on the same screen as Google maps or any other app (kind of like a less intrusive form of the Facebook Messenger app conversation bubbles).Cons:Resetting the tire pressure alarm limits for either wheel requires you to remove and reinstall both of the pressure sensors so the app can re-register the sensors.The app requires both Bluetooth and GPS to be enabled to read the sensors. If you know where you're riding, you'll have to needlessly drain battery life on GPS if you want continuous tire pressure monitoring.

So FAr So Good
Very easy and straight forward installation on the Harley and software on the phone. It took a few minutes of laying on the driveway with my phone up against the sender before they recognized each other but, once done, the connection seems solid. Accuracy ( as compared to two different manual tire gauges ) seems quite good too. The sender is very sensitive to pressure changes caused by the ambient air temp. and the temp. of the tire. I'm still getting used to the audible alert I get whenever I walk anywhere in the vicinity of my garage and the air is cold. It is nice to have a user settable high / low range but you must remember that the tire pressure goes up or down about 2 psi for every 10 degree "F" change in temp. of the air inside the tire. If you only allow for an alarm +/- 2 or 3 degrees, your phone will be alerting you every time you move near the bike. I'd suggest at least an 8 degree +/- range. Don't know how long the batteries will last as I am still on the first set after about 3 months. They give you an extra set and, they are an easy size to buy. I would recommend the FOBO setup and, intend to buy another set for my Goldwing Trike.

FOBO Still Hasn't Done Any Quality Control
Like so many other's results, they wouldn't pair with my phone. FOBO needs to do some *serious* quality control and check every set of these before they leave the factory.The procedure isn't hard to follow, and the app gives you the go-ahead when it's ready to pair. I watched the FOBO web site videos, turned on the phone's Location (GPS) and Bluetooth functions, disabled the LTE on the phone, and pressed "go" at the right time. The first 3 times it tried to pair, the app said it wasn't getting anything, but on the follow-on attempts, the app just kept spinning. I had to use the phone's controls and manually disable the app to stop it, as it was frozen in an endless loop.Next, I tried the other sensor (still on the rear wheel, as required by the procedure...still no go. Then I tried replacing the batteries in both sensors...Nope. Tried with a different phone..."Heck" no. Used the manual Bluetooth scan on both phones to see if the sensors were transmitting...Zero.FOBO web site doesn't have much for troubleshooting, so I'm at "all stop." Sent a msg to them through the site, but don't expect a response before tomorrow. In the meantime, I've already printed out the return label.

7 month Update****
7 months later 1 of 2 sensors has died, and will no longer communicate. So now I’m torn. When it works it’s great, but at this price should also be far more reliable. Not sure I feel like dealing with warranty bs so will prob just try a cheaper product that will last just as long if not longer. So does the product work as stated. Yes, until it doesn’t.Also not fullly sold on the phone connection/app, really believe I would rather just have a small display showing my pressures I can attach to the bike without having to messed around with the phone.Also noticed as it aged it gave far more incorrect pressure settings. When I first got it, really was pretty close to all gauge checks. But as the months went on the pressure was recording low and even sometimes high, off by almost 1 lb plus. (and yes batteries were replaced, full charge)Peace of mind these products are a must for any motorcycle without pressure sensing. Just not sure “these” are worth the price.**********Original review.So far has been great, pressure reads very close to accurate. like .2 lbs max difference in tolerance for a the few gauges i've checked with.- you can custom your warning pressure and tire temps, but i have never tripped any of those warnings to let you know how quickly it notifies.- app does need to remain running in back ground from what i have seen.- unknown how accurate the tire temp is. but def a good tool for us sport riders to gauge tire and traction readyness.!really its worth even if just for piece of mind, ive gotten comfortable enough with it where i trust it when i do my visual checks, and pull the app up before i ride. I still manually check tires pressures but far less often as it's so far been right on the money.Reason i bought this. recently had my first true tire blow out experience, kept the bike up thankfully but literally lost all air pressure in about 40 seconds @ highway speed. With this tool in theory, I could have had warning of exact cause that would have gotten me into the slowing down process faster without wasting that time with the mental check list of trying to figure out if just road surface, wind etc..

Works just as advertised
Bought this for my Goldwing and am finding it extremely useful. Not having to get down on hands and knees to check air pressure before a ride is wonderful. Getting the warning pressures set right in the app took a little trial and error, but once figured out it's fine. Definitely recommend this product.

Color not as Advertised
Advertised as black, bought black, but received silver. It works well, it's just not what I ordered. Assembly is plastic, I suppose it can be painted with Krylon. Shouldn't have to do that though, should I?
