Default Tire Plug kit and small compressor

thought I would put this in here as its for getting ready for a road trip.

wife and I are planning a 700 mile round trip on the bike in a couple of weeks. not a lot to some but our first longer type trip. would like to get some type of plug kit to put in the saddle bags of the Heritage just in case.
any of you all have any recommendations on one that's not junk.

also some type of compressor or air system to get some air back in after the plug is done.

Stop n Go plug kit.
Uses mushroom plugs.
Get the kit that comes with co2 cartridges.
Two cartridges will fill a touring size tire.
All of the portable compressors I've tried were way to slow and the co2 cartridges don't take up much space.

I use regular plug kit from advance auto and a little plastic cheap compressor that I took the plastic cover off and stuck it in a sock , it takes no space, plugs in the cig lighter.

I carry a standard plug kit and a compressor in my bikes when traveling or just going on a day ride. But I can't use it on the springer front tire, it has spokes and a tube. Kinda screwed if I have a problem there. Either way you go, they will get you home or to a shop. Good insurance and beats calling a wrecker.

I use the Aerostich kit. A little spendy but compact & complete... https://www.aerostich.com/a-to-b-uti...ompressor.html

And +1 on Ride-On.

I bought a Dynaplug Mini Pro 12v pump about 5 years ago. It's performed well for topping off a low tire and filling up a flat tire when away from a good air source. It looks like it has been discontinued and replaced by other models from Dynaplug. I used Slime in the tube on my wife's Dyna with good success. I also carry a cheap plug kit that I haven't needed yet.

Don’t you have spoke wheels on that bike?

I have the Stop & Go kit with the compressor and it is small. It fits into the pouch next to water bottle on my saddlebag protector.

The Stop n Go compressor lives in my saddlebags. Great little machine for topping off tires. The Heritage has tubed tires so a plug kit won’t really help. I put Ride On in mine and hope I don’t need to call for a tow.
