In September I am embarking on a 4,000 mile road trip with some friends. We will be riding the "road less traveled" for the most part. I have always carried along a can of Fix-a-Flat which I fortunately never had the occasion to use.
I have been hearing of Ride On tire sealant and how far superior it is to Slime, Fix-a- Flat etc.
Do any of you folks have experience with this product?

 

Use it on my 2014 SG. You can leave your wheel weights on and use the recommended amount, or add more and take the weights off, they have a calculator here. Videos on Youtube of it in action. I'm sold on it, but for long trips I would carry along something like this also in case of a puncture where the Ride-on doesn't cover.

 

I've used on my 14 RK the last year and 11k miles. Good stuff as far as I can tell as I've not had a puncture. Use to carry plugs but having plugged my last bike tries in emergency I'm fairly fairly confident ride on will seal anything that a plug would and beyond that a tow to the shop is needed. I don't carry anything except very few tools on the road, my roadside assistance, credit card and phone.

 

Have Ride-on on my new American Elites on '13 FTLRX. Just completed a 7200 mi trip. No issues at all. Didn't notice any difference with or without it in. But I am not the fussy rider and don't notice every little thing.

 

I would stick with Slime, it's worked for you all these years. If by chance it doesn't work you can always throw your ride on the trailer and get it fixed properly.

 

Ride On is what I use on my Ultra, wouldn't leave without it. No mess when you replace your tires.

 

I've used Ride On in 3 sets of tires. On my only "mishap", the tire held up for 200 miles before it failed but I was at a gas station then.

 

I currently have Ride On in both the front and rear tires of my Ultra. I am very satisfied with it. No wheel weights to worry about. I still carry a plug kit but do not think I really need it with this stuff in my tires. I told my HD Dealer about the stuff. They have never heard anything about it and kind of thought I was crazy for using it. Well, I aint crazy...hell, they still think HD dino oil is the only thing out there! LOL.

 

the road you want to ride most sometimes closes in sept.---have seen deep snow on it 1st sept.

 

Thanks, the Espinazo del Diablo is not on this year' itinerary.
