    Never leave home without mine in the tool bag - Never had to use it Yet! (knock on wood) but it's there if needed.
    Does that kit have the CO2 bottles?

    Never used that one but have used the Stop and Go with great success. Have used it twice now once riding home on a holiday weekend over 500 miles with the plug in it pulling a trailer, no motorcycle shops open. I have even used it on my truck where nails from construction sites and punchured the tire. The stop and Go plugs are the mushroom headed plugs and they work excellent, wouldn't leave home without them and my 12 volt small pump.

    I carry the standard model. Gotta tell you those motorcycle rear tires are pretty tough to poke any thing into when plugging them. I also carry a can of tire sealant. With my current bike I'm up sheet creek with the spoked wheels and tubes. Have not had a flat with them yet, hope I never do. I hate the thought of pulling a wheel off to get the tube out to patch it.

    Got a friend of mine that sit on the side of the road for 6 hours with his Old Lady and his softail with a flat tire , nobody would stop and help him. He got a wrecker to git his bike and take it to his house.

    The next thing he did was to buy a Stop & go Kit and a 12volt pump from Napa and put it in the saddle bags.
    He has even plugged a tire on his tractor with it and it held..

    not much unless ya want to break it down and patch it.....i had a 21inch front that caught a nail many years ago.....way out in the sticks. i did put a can of fix a flat in it, and as long as i was moving it held.....but if i stopped it went flat. did get some help and got it patched. i love tubeless tires........:)
    i still have bike tire tools, but their in the tool box in the shop.....now i carry plugs and a pump....and use them if need be....

    Yea, I fell in love with that 09 Red/Smoky Gold color Ultra with the spoked wheels. I know better but that bike had my name on it and besides I thought the 09 tubeless wheels were kind of ugly. Some day maybe a set of nice looking wheels.

    They really do work very well and are not hard to install. I've had to plug 3 motorcycle rear tires now using them. They don't leak or come out.
