Tubeless tire repair kit?

Could anyone more knowledgeable than me (which is probably everyone) clue me in as to what the best tubeless tire repair kit for an '08 Nomad would be? An URL would be preferable - thanks!

They have several that are good. Just depends on how much you want.

I don't have them but I would say that the mushroom head plugs would be the best. I carry tapered plugs and tar strips. Several years ago Liz came up with a 3" deck screw in her rear tire the day before we where to leave for the Boscobel rally. I plugged the tire with the tapered plug, which must be glued in, and kept an eye on it. She rode the tire plugged over 13,000 miles, until it was wore out. She is brave and tuff.

I rode 5K with a plug in the rear tire on my Meanstreak.The dealers around here won't plug a tubeless.I don't know if it's liability, they wanna sell ya a new tire,or both. I lean towards both.

I forgot to mention the one I used was one of those kind you can buy at any gas station. The gooey strips with a little round file and great big sewing needle.

I've been looking at these http://www.dynaplug.com/ and these http://www.stopngo.com/ Haven't bought them yet but they look easy enough to use. The stopngo link also sells a mini compresser that looks like it can plug right into your battery tender pig tail or aslo uses a cigerette lighter if you have put one of those on.

I have the Stop-n-go tire plugger. I have not had to use it on the bike yet, but I have plugged two car tires with it. It is very easy to use and has been in use for a lot of miles now with no leakage at all.

I don't believe in plugging a bike tire. The pavement is not to forgiving. Back in the day I wouldn't patch a tube either

years ago I had a brand new v45 honda sabre......2nd day I had it the rear tire picked up a nail. I had it plugged and put 16k miles on it and never lost a pound of air. rode cross country on that tire. ALWAY kept an eye on it though. If it had lost any air I would've replaced the tire.

seems like we have people using wal-mart pluggin kits to motorcycle tube pluggin kits and everybody rides home fine. Good. Buy whatever works for you is the message. or keep new tires on.

I used a Stop-N-Go repair kit years ago on the rear tire of my 650 Maxim. It had a hose that screwed into the sparkplug hole and you ran the engine to pump the tire up. Rode the bike till the tread was so thin the plug didn't have enough to bond to and it let go.
Yeah, I know, not too smart. Hey I was young and bullet proof

Ive used plugs with great success over the years, but Ido keep a closer watch on the tire and pressure. They do work well most times.
