I saw this thread (viewtopic.php?f=15&t=8616&p=64928&hilit=TPMS#p64928), but it's a few years old. Any news, especially in-tire system or including tire temp?
Here's an updated link to Orange systems: http://www.rrrtoolsolutions.com/article ... or-system/, which seems pretty groovy (and on sale -- $175).
TPMS recommendations?

Re: TPMS recommendations?
I'm seeing lots of mixed reviews (especially lousy service and short life) for the Orange system, which is on backorder anyway. Lots of Chinese options for about 1/3 the price -- I'm considering this as a throw-away if necessary.

Re: TPMS recommendations?
Currently I am using this tire pressure monitor that I got off of eBay for $50
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 2145854131
And I must say it is very nice. And I am considering it a throwaway because of how cheap it is. But it does both psi and bar as well as the temperature of each tire in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
I charged it once, pretty much riding everyday, and it has lasted well over 2 months. And I must say it is accurate within, I'd say .25 PSI.

Re: TPMS recommendations?
Thanks. Although it says "unbranded", I recognize some of the graphics from a host of other Chinese versions. I'm betting they're all made in the same factory. Look at all the almost identical pups listed here (http://www.motorcylepartsandcollectible ... -tpms.html). This is the Pershn? (A search of "'Pershm' TPMS review" yielded no results. Looks like it's sold exclusively through EBay.)
This looks like the same thing but a cup of coffee cheaper (https://www.ebay.com/itm/TPMS-Motorcycl ... 3641.l6368).
One thing caught my eye: can you change the sensor batteries? I'm seeing lots of complaints about "old stock". The sensors evidently start discharging the battery in the factory.
I'm also looking for a car version just to get spare sensors; but I don't think those monitors are weatherproof. Else see if there's a source for replacement sensors (I see lots of generic sensors for <$10, but have to wonder whether they'd work with any particular monitor.)
For $50, really shouldn't get too choosy.
