I have the same question... regarding a kit, but wonder if Ride On can only be purchased from the manufacturer.... you think we might find it somewhere else (discounted?)

I have the ride-on fluid ready to put in my tires....looks like spring might finally be here, so I might get it in this weekend. Don't know of anywhere to buy it other than their on-line store. I bought for my Ultra and since I'm putting a new set of tires on the wife's Accord I'm going to put it in her new tires too. I also carry a plug kit and one of the small air compressors from Autozone.

Anyone tried Ride-0n? is it worth the money or does it mess up the wheels... it sounds like great stuff?

I bought a repair kit from Walmart. It came with the 2 tools needed and about 6 plugs. I put it in my tool kit along with a small compressor. Hopefully never need to use them.

I carry a Slime Smart Spare Kit in my saddlebags, plus the gummy-wick and tools type kit for plugging larger punctures.

My son and I were talking about it a few weeks ago. He called me back and stated that a couple of his buddies installed the stuff. They said the ride was good up to 70 mph above 75 mph they were getting tire vibration. Could actually see the front tire hopping a little. Not much but there was a difference.
Personally I think I'll go with the plugs, get to a place and have a new tire installed.
