Would have tried anything 2 years ago on the 4th of July. Had a flat with spoked rims and no place open to get fixed. Luckily someone at the truck stop I ended up at knew someone and called them. Got it fixed about 2 hours and 60.00 later.

Roger that. Heritage and Deluxe family here. Few months back I did a solo overnighter on the trans Canada highway. Can't imagine having a flat 100 miles from nowhere. Guess moral of the story is to be prepared with water, food and a way to start a fire.

I guess it was a once in a life time deal time deal, but I put some in the FLAT front tire of my 1200 Custom once. Rode it 200 miles from Poast, Tx. to get home, and when I went too fix the tire a week later, It was still up! I would try it again if it was all I had.

Had a flat in summer on the cross bones, 75 mile tow home, dont know if it will help but got the slime for the tube tire and the little compressor that I keep in my saddle bags, but on the brighter side when you get a flat on a tube tire you just have to replace the inner tube, from what I hear about tubeless tires is that you should replace the tire for safety reasons.
