Very interesting... Just finished watching the videos.

 

hmmmm I was just out checking my bike before a ride tomarrow...had a flat rear tire... damm........ found a nail in it.... wasnt in the tread grove....it was in the thickest part of the tire dead in the center of the tire... my tire isnt even half worn out.. I oppted to plug it.... damm its a avon 200 rear tire...$$ gona check it in the morning...I'm going to take extra plugs with me if its still holding & I already carry a CO2 reinflater kit just incase... just my luck...going to the HD drag race tomarrow... top fuel HDs...

 

Haven't tired these, but they look like they might be a superior plug.

Not much you can do

Here's the thread

Many newer vehicles don't carry spares anymore, instead they have an "inflater kit", that consists of a small compressor with a switch and canister. The switch allows you to choose just air, or air and sealant from an attached canister good for one use, then you must replace the small canister for the next flat. I have used mine just to top off the tires as a test, and it works pretty well, gauge seems OK and even has a decent light too.
I have thought about checking out the junk yards for one, they might be a little more heavy duty than the baby slimes. BTW they plug into the cig lighter, but we can make that work, just another option. Not too big, either...

 

thats what I have and work pretty good , good in car tires to

 

well the plug worked.. been in a couple of day.. rode about 200 miles on it... still holding... I hate to replace a half worn out $250.00 tire...

 

I have the Airman, you can buy it here

i also carry a set of the Stop n Go tire plug kit

All of it fits into the HD saddlebag organizer, always have it on the bike. If you have ever had a flat in the middle of nowhere and not had cell service (which we don't have alot of here) you'll be glad to have it.
