Title: Plug repair kit
Post by: moparman70 on May 13, 2015, 01:17:20 PM
On our recent Dollar Bill run I was saved by fellow riders Capt Ron and San Dimas Mike by their patch kits and compressors.   No pic of the fix but being one to learn from a lesson  or as Bush said 'fool me once ... we wont get fooled again "

I found this at our local Walmart for 17 bones --- pretty small and will fit in my tailbag without issue ---this along with a plug kit you can get and any auto place and we should be good

Maybe I can return the favor for another rider as well.

Thanks again Ron and Mike.

PS -- this requires a accessory ( lighter) plug -- if you don't have one that's a must as well ( see Cycle Gear for one ) if not you can always modify the cord with alligator clips and connect direct to battery

PSS -- almost put this under Rally PREP --- as a must now for any long rides I do

If you already use a battery tender with a pig tail, then modify the pump with one of these. It will plug in without pulling the seat off...

After seeing the smaller plugs fail to seal your tire, I also picked up a traditional plug kit.

Here is the Before picture...
