90 Degree stem for air shocks

Does anyone know if there is an angled stem to allow me to put air into the shocks without removing the left saddlebag? I did notice on the 09's that the stem is angled to allow filling without removing saddlebag. I also wondered if I could hole-saw a hole through bag and then install a plug to seal out the weather. I don't want to compromise the structure of the bag. Any insight would be appreciated.

the airvalve is removable and on a flex line. it can easily be moved to a better location if you want. i like the way mine is protected by the bag. only need to check it when i service the bike, and i remove the bags when doing that anyway. hope this helps a bit.....

I moved both lines under the seat on a 98 RK, we got rid of the mount,

You could make your own and put them anyway you want, bend the one you have.

We drilled two holes under the seat in the cross brace behind the battery,
ran both lines over the fender, under seat behind battery to the tray,

Used the stock fittings and nuts and jammed them down, now they are hidden away but easily accessable by removing the seat.

I would not mount them inside a bag as you might need to take that bag off sometime on the side of the road, or to clean then you'll be taking apart the fitting lines each time. You could move them under the cover where the ECM goes too if there is room but then you have to remove a bag and a cover (we thought about that and why we went under the seat.
