Fix-A-Flat?
Taking a two week ride to Alabama and Miss next month. Got a new-to-me FLHTCU. Question: as I put together my tool kit/emergency stuff, should I bring a can of Fix-A-Flat? I dunno if I can use that stuff on a MC tire or not. Not gonna buy it and pack it if it isn't recommended or won't work.
TIA.

I used this on my bike and a couple others a few years back before going to Laughlin. We took off all wheel weights and followed the instructions. Not one of us has had a flat! On that trip I passed a group of trailers and got up over a hundred miles an hour and it was smooth as could be! I found that heating it up in a micro ever so slightly and carefully made getting it in the tire a breeze.

Was just talking about Ride On tire sealant earlier. It is a MUST on every bike that I ride. The protection and piece of mind it provides is worth it!!! Costs less than $30 to a set of tires how and why would you not use it???

Watch the YouTube videos on Ride On and you'll see them ride over nails etc. and it seals immediately. So you will have no need for tire patches and such. It will allow you to keep riding and get where you need to be. Opposed to pulling over on the side of a road in the middle of the night trying to patch a tire.....

Here is my story on fix a flat. 10 PM Milwaukee Sunday night. As I approach the motel my sidecar tire goes flat ,Value stem cut . The side car is spokes and use a tube.
No were to get a tube. % cans of fix a flat got me home the next day with enough in it I could ride it. It took a bit but it sealed the spokes up. Got home washed it all out put in a new tube. I am never going to bad mouth the stuff again.

Same here, on my 2nd set of tires with Ride-On and am very happy with the balance performance and as of yet no flats.
I also carry a tire plug kit in case.
