The triumph ones are lovely, but not sure if they fit the GS.
 
I have regular tire valves and in the tool box part, have a right angled adaptor
reason is that some tire inflators and service stations dont get on the valves so well
I thought about fitting a angled valve, but with teh rotational forces, thought it would wear over time
Also, EVERY time a new tire goes on, a new valve as well
