Run it and forget it.
I've run patched or plugged tires for thousands of miles at highway speeds for hours on end and never worried about it.
Repaired or not, I run my tires until the tread is gone.
There will be a group sign on here in a bit that will tell you that you are sure to have a catastrophic failure and face imminent death.
If you decide to replace the tire and it will fit my Dyna, send it to me rather than throw it away and I will pay the postage. Serious offer.

I currently have a Michelin Commander II with over 10,000 miles on it and over half the tread still on it on y 08 E.G.C. when one day during clean up I noticed it had a metal clip of some kind that had punctured the tread right in the center. I pulled that out, installed a plug, and have been riding it now for over 1,000 miles with no issues, and it doesn't leak air around the plug! Just do it and ride!

Here's my take on it...
The reason nobody has said that you should replace the tire is because they are all out of commission or dead from riding on patched / plugged tires and are not able to respond to this post. This should serve as a warning for us all, you will DIE in three days if you don't replace that tire and send this message to 28 people within 24 hours.

Oh yeah, in case you cannot tell, that was sarcasm...
