I have a 2011 GS with spoked wheels and wanted to fit some right angled tyre valves, has anyone fitted them and were there any issues with pressure loss?
Is it the 11.3 option for bmw wheels? Was looking at these in the attached image. My bike is non tpms.

I had these fitted on my spoked wheels on my 1150GS Adv for years - they make life very easy and I never had a pressure loss. I think the ones I had were branded Wunderlich, but they look the same as those in your pic.

When I rebuilt my 88 R80GS I installed these angled units, as it makes tyre inflation so much easier.
From memory there was a wee O ring on outside.
I applied a tiny bit of black silicon to O ring before tightening nut.
Never had a problem with front or rear....Screenshot_20251122_192714_Gallery.jpg

Great, thanks for the reply, I’ll give them a go 👍
 
I fitted valves like that to both of my Suzuki TL's.
Numerous track days and laps of the nordscleife and they weren't a problem. I mention that to say they were ok at high speed and never lost any pressure
