    I've got a BMW tubeless repair kit...mate gave it to me as a 'going away pressie" in 1987.....its probably past its best by date now.....should put it on Ebay....

    This is the tool kit I carry on the Harley. It has levers, puncher repair kit, I even have a few plugs for tubeless tires and a small bike pump.

    I have even been known to help out riders on jap bikes from time to time.
    Is that because Harleys need a lot of roadside maintenance ?

    Well I asked for it.

    Got a puncher today, western valley road, no cell phone coverage and it was raining. Took 40 min but I fixed it. Inflated it with my trusty bike pump and went on my way.

    Ha.

    Fate only throws punches at those that can handle them. Thats why I don't carry a puncture repair kit...

    Just carrying on the thread

    I see Motomail sell a Motul tyre repair can that claims to not damage the tyre, contains latex and suitable for tubeless and "tube" tyres - all for $30 per can.

    Has anyone used such a product? If you did - thoughts/comments. Do you think its of any value?

    Thanks in advance
