I think you're mentally picturing something completely different. First the 
device has a gauge on it (so you don't need something that is setup for one 
pressure). It looks a lot like a pressure gauge with a soft hose on it 
(maybe 2 inches). As I see it, the soft hose has a clamp down fitting (like 
a bicycle pump) so that you push it onto the motorcycle tire valve and lock 
it in place. At this point the gauge reads the pressure in the tire. The 
gauge has a valve on it which you connect your air hose to - as you inflate 
the tire through the gauge, you will have a reading of what pressure is in 
the tire. If you overfill, there is a release button on the side of the 
gauge to bleed off the extra.

Sounds like a great product to me - now we just need someone to build it.
