    I received a SLIME 12v Tire Inflator (see pic below) as a Christmas present but even as small as it is, it will not fit under the seat.:mad: Only way I could carry it would be to place in my tank bag.
    Has anyone had purchased or have any experience with C02 cartridges? I'm considering a Tubless Tire Repair Kit that will store under the seat.
    Appreciate the Feedback.

    I have this one & it fits quite nicely under the seat. I keep a set of vice-grips with it to make using the CO2 cartridge that much easier. Fortunately, I've never had to use it. I'm pretty sure I could get the bike home if I ever tried to use it. Of course, I would only ride on a repaired tire far enough to get it replaced.

    Hey KC, that is actually the one I was looking at getting. Good to hear from you that it fits under the seat.
    I'm sure you've seen the AER0STICH catalog, and they have a article on page 239 that states........"it will take two to three 12g C02 cylinders to get an average flat motorcycle tire up to 10 - 12lbs. so it can be ridden again." "A single 25g C02 cylinder will do the same job."
    That said, I may get the tire repair kit you suggested and order a 25g C02 cartridge to go along with it. One out of AEROstich is $7.00, but priceless if you ever needed it.
    Again, Thanks for the response.

    I have this one linky.

    I have already used it (way in the middle of nowhere) and it saved my ass. Fits under the seat nicely. I carry four 16 gram cartridges in the bag with everything else. It is recommended by "glo!"

    Oh, i have a small compressor as well, but I never ride with it really. I did before, but no need for it really. If I get a flat I can use the repair kit, and if my tire is a little low, I can just hit a gas station....doesn't happen enough to justify its use.

    If it gets the "GLO" approval it's a must have!
