I've had the Slime kit for a while. Keep it packed in the bags. Never needed it for my scoot, but did need to use it on my truck when building my house. It took a while to fill the truck tire up, but it did do it. I'll never ride without it.

+1 On The Slime Air Kit, aviscomi is showing. It works great and stows well.

Picked up the Slime unit at Walmart yesterday for $28. Took out the bottle of slime and put a plugger kit in the case. Got rid of the electrical connections I did not need. Nice little slim case fits anywhere on the bike.

I just took the guts out of a regular 12V compessor like you buy in the discount stores. Smaller than all of these and cheap too. (Got one exactly like Clint55 I use around the house.)

I use the Slime brand Mini-Air. It very small and compact. They are available with small guages also.

I've been looking for a compressor, and I think I found it! Thanks to you. Where can I get the slime compressor?
