Quick Delivery
The tyre valve adaptor was delivered quickly and has been invaluable in inflating tyres with straight valves that are a pain to get to. No loss of pressure when attaching and removing it, which is great.

Easy to use.
I recently purchased the Tyre Valve adaptor and i think its fantastic!
it makes pumping up the tyres on my BMW 1200 GSA, particularly the front tyre, very easy.
I found that I could not use many service station pumps as I could not get the pump onto the valve, but with the adaptor, it is now very simple.
The Adaptor is well made and small enough that I can leave it on the bike at all times.
I highly recomend it to anyone who does not have the right angled valves on their bikes.

Awesome product!
Constantly use this with my BMW F800 GSA to adjust tyre pressures between off-road and road riding.
Easy to use and quick access by passing all the spokes to the air valve, rather than trying to manipulate the service station air pumps.
Works very well with my portable air compressor and has a number of attachments for different use.
Highly recommend this product!

A Must for any road trip.
I ordered the Motorcycle tyre valve adaptor when i was gathering equipment for a ride from Miami to LA.
The air chuck had a variety of value accessories which made inflation of tyres with difficult access very easy.
I was also able to use the configuration for my rear air suspension.
In short, the Motorcycle Air Chuck is a must for any road trip.
It worked perfectly for me.

The Air Chuck came as a relief!
The Air chuck came as a relief, a while ago, I was adjusting the tyre pressure of my R1200GS at a local fuel station.
The airgun most fuel stations have, are very clumsy in shape and don't fit on the valve due to the spokes of the rim.
The result was, I broke the valve off, which cost me a lot of money to repair.
I was looking for a 90 degree shaped valve extension, but couldn't find a decent one.
Then I came across the Top Gun Rider air chuck and it was exactly what I was looking for.
The 90 degree extension that I bought from the BMW garage, started leaking after two days already!
I've now got the Air Chuck and it works perfect!
Big advantages of the Air Chuck are
- It clips onto the valve so you don't have to screw it on.
- It clips off the valve just as easily with no air spillage.
- Never damage your valves again.
- Easy to use.
- It comes with extra hose fittings to attach to the Air Chuck. In this way, it's even easier to fit a pump or a pressure meter.
I'm very happy with the Air Chuck, it's real craftsmanship, which is noticeable when you use it; the air popping sound it makes when you unclip it, is even kind of addicting...

A problem made easy.
I'm more than happy with the Tyre Valve Adaptor.
I've had a problem with inflating the tyres on my BMW 1200 GSA and this adaptor makes it a simple, easy task.
Ten out of ten.

Well made and easy to use.
I've had the adaptor for more than six months now. The adaptor is well made. I used it a couple of times for certain gas stations, because their air pump valve doesn't fit to R1200GS LC. The adaptoris very easy to use. There is no air leakage between the joints.

Well worth a look.
I’ve had the tyre valve adapter for a few months now. Love it. Lives full time in my tank bag. So many service stations have bulky fittings that you have to manoeuvre between spokes and brake disks to use. The adapter lets me check and top up tyre pressure, hassle free. Good quality components and precise control when adjusting your tyre pressure. Well worth a look.

Stress free, reliable, effective, easy.
A great product indeed. The solution for a little problem that becomes a huge problem, mostly an annoying problem. Stress free, reliable, effective, easy. Thank you for manufacturing such a great tool"

I use it on my 4WD and trailers too.
I have been using your tyre valve adapter for quite some time now and they are brilliant particularly on motorcycles with dual front discs and also with a full set of panniers attached. They make it very easy to attach the nozzle of the pump. I use the adapter on my 4wd and trailers in all conditions and they make pumping up tyres and air shocks easier in all applications. As I said a brilliant product in all its 3 variants.

The story behind the Top Gun Tyre Valve Adaptor
Finding a solution to an annoying problem.
My first BMW was a blue 2014 GSA that I wrote off when I hit a tree at about 80kmh.
I was chasing a DR 650 through the bush on a very slippery track.
I loved the bike, and decided to not only get another GSA 1200, but to get another bike, not so heavy, for Dual Sport and keep the 1200 for Adventure riding.
I found a couple of good bikes in Perth, a white 2016 BMW GSA !200 and a 2011 Husqvarna TE 630.
I've had Huskys for years and already have a 1992 TE 350 (in parts, its a project...) and a 2009 TE 450.
They both came together at the same time on the back of a one tonner.
They both looked great, there was only 9,000kms on the BMW and only 2,000 on the Husky.
About two weeks later, I went for a ride with about 6-7 friends.
It was only a road trip down along the coast towards Wollongong.
It was a beautiful sunny Saturday and I stopped at a service station with my riding buddy from a few doors up.
All I was going to do was check the tyres and then catch up to the other riders.
It was a real challenge getting the air hose onto the tyre valve on the back wheel, as there is a spoke that goes directly over it.
They are tubeless tyres and the spokes are on the sides of the rim, which means you have to get in-between the spokes to get to the valve.
I managed to force it on, even though it was hard up against a spoke.
When I tried to get it off, because it wasn't sitting squarely on the valve, it was stuck and I tried to pull it of with a bit more force.
It wasn't too much, but i broke the valve stem off halfway up!
I couldn't believe it, we were only about an hour into the ride and I was stuck about 60kms from home.
Luckily my mate was there on his BMW GSA 800 and so, as it was Saturday, I called up the closest bike shop which was in Wollongong, about 3/4 of an hour away.
They closed at one and it was nearly 12.30.
I asked them to stay after explaining the situation and they agreed to stick around.
I pulled the back wheel off my bike and, with it in my lap, took off to the bike shop. Lance stayed behind to look after my bike.
I didn't mind riding the 800, much lighter than the 1200 and it was very zippy through traffic.
When I got there, I got them to take out the sensor and put in a standard valve.
They asked me if I wanted the old sensor, but I said "Nah, throw it away."
I didn't realise it was going to be over $300 to replace it!
I would have kept it and tried to braze it back together.
I went back to Lance and put the tyre back on the bike and took the scenic route home, with the warning light annoying me all the way because the sensor wasn't connecting to the computer.
After I had the sensor replaced, I was very wary about pumping up the tyres, as the stems are so brittle.
I tried the 90 degree extensions, but they had to be ground down about 4-5 mm as the thread on the sensor stem is quite short.
I put them on and with great trepidation, as I had to tighten them up with a pair of pliers, because if you knocked them, they would leak.
I was a bit worried about leaving them on, as a rock or stick could fling up when I was in the bush and break the valve stem off.
I didn't go for a ride for about four weeks and when I did, both tyres were flat, the valve extensions had both caused the valves to leak, even though they were as tight as i was game to tighten them, so I tried just using them to pump up my tyre and then take it off again.
But it is so awkward to get your fingers in-between the spokes and tighten a tiny knurled nut.
By the time you got the extension back off,( it took about 10 or more seconds because of the awkwardness of the position of the valve and the fingers don't work like they used to), that you lost 4-5 psi.
I got jack of that and thought there's got to be something better.
I tried the available extensions that were on the market and even tried to make my own, but they were all still awkward to use.
Then I discovered this air chuck after trying every other type there was.
I then had to make it work for the bike situation and be able to use it with the garage air pump to get the tyres to the right pressure before a ride.
I went to every tyre accessory and air supply place in Sydney and got various fittings trying to make it work.
They were very expensive and it cost me over $40 just in parts just to make one.
Then I had to re-thread everything as the threads are all different on air fittings, especially valves.
I bought a few taps and dies to re-thread everything, but it was a very slow process. The taps and dies were expensive too, there was only one place in Sydney that had those particular threads.
There were three parts on the original air chuck and they had to be drilled, tapped and re-theaded to fit in each part, as the threads were tapered or an odd thread.
I even went to a guy who manufactures air fittings to see if he could make me the right fitting.
After I made the first one for myself, I couldn't believe how easy it was to use and thought that I would have to share this with the bike riding community.
I thought about how to sell them online, but didn't know where to start and I wanted to keep the price down as much as possible.
But it was taking 15-20 minutes per unit and the time it took wasn't worth it for the returns.
I put them on a number of Facebook Motorcycle groups and the interest was amazing.
I sold every one I had made in a few days and had to order more parts to make more.
I eventually found a fitting online so that I only had to tap and re-thread two items, but it was still a hassle and not really worth it for the time it takes to make them.
I contacted a guy in Queensland that was an importer and he arranged for them to be completely assembled and packaged in Taiwan.
I told them what I wanted and they made them look even better, they are all chrome now.
It actually costs me more to have them made and packaged than I can do it myself, but now there is no labour involved.
They have made a great product for me and they are due to arrive at any day.
I still have a number of the hand made ones, which I will still sell until the new ones arrive.
Everyone that has bought one has been very happy, it is actually fun to check your tyres now.
It takes a second to put it on and a second to take it off.
I really like it and want to share it with the rest of the bike riding buddies.
