I have a Slime from Wal Mart and a cigarette plug power outlet that plugs into my battery tender wire. You can also get a Slime compressor that plugs directly into the battery tender wire, but using the cigarette plug outlet lets me plug in other things, like to charge my cell phone or Ipod. Wal mart also sells slime patch and plug kits, but pretty much any kit will do.

Stop n go plug kit, and a slime compresspor. NOTE: if you change the fuse for the battery tender you can use the pigtails to power the compressor. It'll blow with the fuse there now.

How high a fuse do you put in?

and the Mini-Compressor

Also the Easy Gauge

they all figure nicely in the rear of my saddlebag..

I like the stopngo compressor but it is almost twice the cost of the Slime one. Is there an advantage to one or the other?

Check out the Ride On product. Seals and balances your tires.

I pulled a triagular quarter inch piece of shale out of my front tire in Wyoming last summer during Sturgis week. It hissed for a split second, and then sealed.

My E3 rear tire gave me 17,000 miles before replacement, with Ride On installed.

I have an older slime compressor and Stop and Go plug kit. Also have another plug kit with sticky string packing. They work. I've read (on Webbikeworld) that some of the new Slime compressors made in Taiwan are not so good. The older, made in China, seems to be better quality.
