    The fitting has it's own valve in it, and when screwed in, it opens the tyre valve. So yes, they work for checking and inflating.

     Have one of these right angle jobbies as well and they work great. You just have to remember when you pump it up, put a little extra in, as when you start to unscrew the valve, it lets a bit of air out.

    I usually go about 1 psi more than recommended and after the valve is removed, it's the correct pressure. Works a treat every time

    I bought mine from my dealer in Brisbane. Didn't cost much at all from memory, less than 10 bux I think.

    I got a right angle adaptor from MCAS (on their website under road tire accesories, www.mcas.com.au) $10, and also a small pressure guage, digital

     I had a non-HD (forgive me) bike where the gap between the rear brake and the valve was so close you couldn't even use the angled adaptor without loosening the valve and moving it sideways. Seriously stupid. How can someone have the engineering skills to design an entire motorcycle and not figure out that you have to put air in the tyres?

    I have found the digital ones at woolies caltex fit on fine. At home I use a flexible tyre inflator from ARB running off the compressor in my ute.

    as you can see there are a few styles to fit.  

    I have a ac-5 for home use and a ac-7 that i use at work, Ive had them for 20+ years and cant remember from where i got em.

    Google schrader valve chucks in images and you will see them. Top end suppliers should be able to get for you. 

    I then use a pressure guage with the ac-5 end on it as it fits all schrader valves with limited space. (like the back wheel of mt ultra).

    Hope this helps
