Tubeless Tyre Valves

Looking to replace my Tubeless Tyre Valves would like 90 degree ones, question is what size honda service manuel just says valve rim (Dunlop).
Some are rubber pull through or nut on top of rim or below rim.
Would love the forums feedback or suestions on tried and tested kit.
:D

Re: CCT Best make

I know its predictable, but I still vote stopper mod :D but if you are going for manual CCT, it is just a long bolt in a threaded housing. you don't want it to come undone and you don't want it to leak oil, that's about it Have seen the link mentioned, good point about them just a long bolt :thumbu...
