RE: Flat Repair Kit's - the Ferret - 07-13-2018
Welcome, but I heard about them from Memphis Mike. I'll be picking mine up today.
BTW I sticky roped the hole in the rear tire of my CB and it worked again, held air and I rode it 37 miles last night. Have a new tire in the garage ready to go on, when I get around to it. Patched tire has almost 11,000 miles on it, so it's due to be changed anyway.

Memphis Mike seems to be very knowledgeable about all things motorcycles - and getting over 10K out of a bike tire is fantastic.
Here is what ended up being in my 4" x6"x 2 1/2"kit which includes a folding razor , flashlight with vintage Honda screwdriver and pliers . if you see anything i may have missed let me know. ....... will feel so much better riding far from home now

This fits in about the same size pouch:

Do me one of those kits use2b and let me know how much after adding your time.

After a little searching I found the Dynaplug compressor is also sold with it's own little kit that includes an intriguing plug system.

use2be...get you a piece of clear plastic fuel line just big enough to fit over the shanks of your reamer and rope insert tool. Slide it over and cut just a little bit longer to keep your tools from poking thru the side of your bag.

Yes it is , have 2 of them and like to hit small creeks on the side of the road with fly's. easy to carry along with a large zip lock bag if i decide to keep something.

The only thing I would change is I would swap the flashlight for a headlamp - having hands free lighting can be a huge bonus.

This is what I carry, wrapped in a microfiber towel, from my bicycling supplies. It would fit under the seat of my CBR250R ... this one I slip in a top case or backpack ... aluminum and ridiculously light.
Lezyne makes the best bicycle pumps in the world. This one is rated to 120 psi and has Presta and Schrader flip attachments. The hose unscrews from the handle, the nozzle screws onto the tire stem, and the flexibility makes things less awkward. I've run out of CO2 too many times:

I used to carry around a Slime rope patch kit, but after testing it out in my garage on a nail I found at home, it was pretty much unworkable ... I needed a power drill to get through the steel belt ... and then failed to hold air. Ugh.
I'm thinking about the Stop & Go dome plug kit ... user reviews seem mixed ... meanwhile I have my AMA card with roadside assistance.
