Guys guys guys, if your not running Ride~On tire protection fluid in your tires you are just asking for trouble. Forget needing a plug kit. Ride~On does it all and it is not a big mess like the green snot stuff when you have to get into the tire. It will wash off with plain water.
Took the Mad from TX to south western MO at the end of Sept. excluding the miles going and comming we rode 600 miles in three days in the Ozarks. Checked the tires every morning before heading out and dont know when I picked up the screw but it was well ground down when I found it in the back tire after cleaning the bike back home. Never lost a bit of air and never knew it was there until then. Ride~On works just as advertised. Google it and check it out.

Harbor Freight has a plug kit for 4 bucks and a 12v mini compressor for 8 bucks. (not on sale) For some this may work if you have the balance beads in the tires. Otherwise, the flat preventative as mentioned above could be the ticket. A 12 dollar investment may be the difference between getting there or not. JM2C.
Plug kit--#45183, compressor#4077-1vga
