Slime comp - $20.00
We were running back to Florida last year when one of our Riders got a flat in the rear. We plugged it and I used the compressor to refill. Pumped it up no problem. Unfortunately the hole was large so the plug blew out again further south. I think we had to stop and plug about four times until we could get to a HD Dealer to get a new tire. The compressor is powerful. Don't bother with the fairing mounted one. Waste of money. $168.00 will buy you a Wally World compressor and a spare tire!
I would like a reccommendation on the best plug kit? No point in having a compressor if you can't plug the hole!

If you have a big enough cut then nothings gonna plug it. I have tire plug kit and co2 cartridges. I had to use the kit when I got a screw in my rear tire . Tire was pretty new so I plugged it and ran on it until it was worn out. I think I paid about $15 for the kit. I think that kit paid for itself big time.

I've been contemplating getting one for the convenience and peace of mind...
Does anyone out there have one and feel it's worth it? $198.50 US bucks right from Savoir...

In this case I think the worry is reasonable. I've had two punctures on the road in the past three years that would've left me stranded had I not had my $5 Wal-Mart pump on board. If you get a puncture you can plug it, then pump the tire back up, and you're up and running again. This is invaluable and I won't go out of my driveway without a small pump on board. In fact, after seeing how compact the Sime pump is I may buy one and carry it as a backup. Or, buy the $6 HF pump if it is small enough.
Of course if you have laced wheels you can't be saved in this manner.
