ANOTHER F*^%IN NAIL
I am so sick of getting nails in my rear tire. This is the 4th one. \\; Has anybody had any luck plugging a rear. I am leaving for Sturgis this weekend and cant get it replaced before trip.

I feel your pain, I have replaced 3 rear tires in the 2 years I've had the bike. I would not even entertain plugging a tire let alone a rear one. There is to much at risk, your life being at the top of the list.

I have had plugs in my rear tires before and been fine. After all, that's  \\;what they make plugs for right..to plug tires! I had a tube in my last rear tire and I picked up a nail about 60 miles from home. I am no longer a fan of tubes in tires. You cant even plug a tire to limp a bike home if your tube gets punctured. And dont even think of using "fix- a- flat" if you have a tube!! At $200.00 - $300.00 a tire, I would definitely plug a new tire if I could get away with it.

Well after further inspection and prying with a small screwdriver it was a sliver of glass. I have checked my pressure a couple times since pulling it out and tire seems fine. What do you think? Safe to ride???
