I bought the Stop and Go kit online at http://www.stopngo.com/../../../motorcycle.asp.I bought the kit with the gun as that is what I'm most familiar with and I know they work.The glue I purchase locally.

Nealey plugs and a Slime pump. The Nealey plugs are permanent. Made in Urbandale, Iowa, USA.

I know lots of people care the Stop & Go kits, but who had really used one?
I was looking at one for the saddle bags after getting a flat in Colorado and being totally unprepared. I had tired tires back then but now have tubeless tires.
I was looking at the manual Stop & Go because it takes up less space.

I welcome all positive and negative responses.

I carry the Slime Powersport compressor and a plugger/reamer that fits into it's own handle. I ordered the plugger off the Slime website as I couldn't find a store that stocked it. I use red "gummy" worm plugs. I think they are for truck tires, parts stores carry them and they work good for me.

Same stop and go plug kit, but a slime mini compressor.

Arrow Tire Weld

I carry a aerosol can of Tire Weld, Have used similar on my cage a couple of times successfully if it is just a nail or something imbedded, but has to be a tubeless tire, it is quick and easy and works until I can get somewhere to have it repaired or the tire changed, have not had to use it with my bike as yet, hope I never have to,

It is such a waste to replace a tire that has been plugged.**** is the word!!!!In all my years of driving never had a concern with a plug,The honest tire people will tell you the same thing.I will gladly pay the shipping charges for all of you that want to send me your new plugged tires.

Default Stop and Go plugged tire

After having the misfortune of a slow leaking tire I found a small hole in the center area of the front tire. The tire has ~ 7000 miles of wear left on it and I thought what a waste it was to have to scrap the tire. After reading several of the posts I decided to go with a stop and go plug for the tire and now have over 1000 miles of trouble free riding. No more leakage and the tire handles fine in all speed ranges from Virginia mountain curves to 70 mph plus on the interstate. I had once plugged a rear tire with a rope plug and finished the wear on it but have the topmost confidence in the arrow head plugs.
Just wanted to share my actual experience with the tire plugging.
