Mini-Portable Compressor
For some reason I've recently had several people PM me about my mini-compressor. I've recently decided to put that one back in the truck and go with this one. As you can see in the demensions, it's compact enough to carry on the bike and has a gauge as well as a 90 degree chuck/fitting. I've used these plugged into the Ultra cig lighter with no issues. But if I am at home I'll usually just pull the bike over next to the truck and plug into the truck 12v socket.

That looks like a pretty good unit. Yours looks like a better compressor and probably does take as long to air up a low tire.
I use the Slime brand Mini-Air. It very small and compact. They are available with small guages also.

truck tires occasionally when I don't feel like getting out the compressor, etc. Of course, it takes a long time for a truck tire, but...it does work.
The problem with mine is the guage needle bounces alot while running and hard to tell what pressure it is actually reading, so I use a tire guage to check.
For the price and what it does...can't beat it.

Heres another option great unit and you can purchase the inline gauge as well. Also will connect up to the SAE connection where you battery tender connects.

It saved me a long walk to the nearest phone when I had a rear tire go flat & no cell reception.
