1) Thread goes on Schrader valve. Antenna broadcasts tire pressure to Centralized Government under the new, "We wanna know your tire pressure" law. New hardware will keep our good friend Kiwi out of prison.
2) Thread goes on Schrader valve, analog gauge indicates the tire pressure. The other side? Let us say you are on a ride and you come across someone with COVID. BOOM! "Yea I got an inoculation with me!" Save their life carrying your inoculation with you in the most convenient location possible. Wait you are in New Zealand? Scorpion sting antidote instead.
3) The guys in the shop pick it up, push thumb onto copper side as hard as possible. The gauge indicates arm strength. Lots of cash betting going on there...
4) Given the range of the gauge: the threaded side connects to the top end somehow for compression testing and the needle side goes onto a basketball/volleyball or maybe (less effective) it is Bluetooth broadcasting the results to a device?

Wrong, wrong, wrong, and WRONG!
Nice try though . . some of those suggestions were interesting, may even give a few of them a go, lol.

@sixpack577 is correct yes? Thus this valve is inflated with a needle and self-sealing? All I can find are proprietary references from some of the shock manufacturers. What are the common or proper names for the valve? It is old-school and was replaced with a Schrader or a cheap solution that is still manufactured? Thank you for the edukashion.
Yes @sixpack577 is correct, the later shocks these days have done away with the schrader valve setup and now have a small rubber pellet that the needle penetrates and inflates the bladder, thus the tool I showed has a gauge and a shcrader valve in the end to attach the air fitting and inflate the bladder.
That be lovely bit of kit .

After what seemed like months, (oh wait, it was months..) my new fairing kit came in this weekend. Not a bad job. Went together pretty smoothly. Looks way better then the factory '16 red/silver colour. Fitment, about 8/10. Paint 8.5/10. But I'm happy.
Also finished the rewiring to integrate the Gen3 switch gear into the gen2. Small interface and the rostra Cruise works with the factory switch gear. Have a dual colour led mounted in the dash, red for enabled, goes green for active.

That looks decent although one thing catches my eye, left hand decal is not symmetrical like the right. Beautiful colour though.

But, yeah the colour was what hooked me for these.
I see what you are saying...keen eye there...

Sadly yes. Looks like everything laid down, then clear as a final
