The mechanic that put the patch over the plug on my tire told me had one on the front of his bike...
After repairing my tire we looked at his bike....he rolled it forward until the plug showed.
He tipped the scales well over 300 lbs and was riding some muscled-up Duc....
Got the same kit. Had a nail when tire was new, plugged it and rode until it was due for a tire change. Now I carry the kit and a 12v inflator in my saddlebag
Caught a small nail on the rear tire a couple of years back when my GF and I were riding the four corners. I carry and use Dynaplugs. Works great, and we continued our trip into Yellowstone. I had about 5000 more miles on the tire be before changing out.
I see you get 3 plugs w/ the standard kit. What does it mean 'fuses with the tire'? Tried watching a few videos on it, not one addressed how the plug 'fuses' with the tire? Not quite clear what that means. That implied to me (?) that the plug melts/bonds to the tire? Though not finding any info on that anywhere. Thanks.

I'm not sure how it 'fuses' with the tire either, but the FAQ says the repair is permanent.
The standard kit comes with 3 plugs, but I got the Roadside kit with the Mini Pro inflator. You can choose the standard kit with it or the one with 5 plugs.

I've never had to use one but would plug it and run the tire for the remainder of its service life, tho I'd pay closer attention to air pressure for the first few months until I was confident that it sealed completely.
Vulcanizing - "harden (rubber or rubberlike material) by treating it with sulfur at a high temperature."
....sure, but all the dynaplug does is what the Stop & Go kit does- puts a rubber plug in the tire, there is no heating the rubber w/ cultures or accelerators or sulfur......
or do these plugs 'react' with chemicals in the pavement and the heat generated from riding to 'vulcanize'? is that what you're suggesting?
I've plugged lots of tires through the years and never think twice. As long as they're not leaking, they're repaired. Proceed to wear em out just as usual.
I rode 475 miles to Daytona with a nail in the rear tire. I left it there until the tire wore out. It's the only tire I've owned that rarely needed air. Go figure...
