If anyone has found one, please let me know where to order it.

I had the same problem on both a Honda Helix and a Kawasaki Voyager. One solution is to go to your local auto parts store and purchase a dual axle valve stem extender "about 3 bucks". It is a piece of steel braided air hose six inches long with male and female ends. You can fish it between the spokes and screw it down on the valve stem. you can then fill the tire and check the pressure with any air chuck. You will only lose a pound or two of pressure while removing the extender. I used to keep one in the glove box at all times. Or, you can buy a compressor for 150.00
