    Please reccomend a tire inflator to carry when riding.

    Slime and others offer up kits that include a 12 volt compressor. Check them out.
    Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

    I carry an old 12v "Bell" tire pump. I modified it to plug in to the battery tender wire. As writing this I realized I have (2) 7.5 fuses in this line. I also carry plenty of 16 and 20 gram air cartridges. Does anyone know how many cartridges it would take to fill Rally size tires up to preferred psi. "Slime" may be nice but what about tire balance problems. My mechanic warned me that they charge an extra $20 per tire to clean out the mess.

    How do you hook that up to the Ryker (or whatever you are using it with)?

    Do you leave that Battery Tender lead hooked up all time? If yes, do you tie it off or does it just flop around while you are riding?

    My dealer installed one on my Ryker before I bought it. I never even asked, they just did it.

    They have it so its even with my Ryker front grill. I used it this past winter for my battery tender.

    Thanks for the info. I bought the same one but paid three times as much. Still a good deal IF it works and is durable. I bought a female cigarette adapter to battery tender connection so that I can use it without modifying the connection, in case I meet someone on the road that needs to use it on their car. It is so small that I can add a plug kit and fit it in a cloth bag to store in my little Ryker frunk.
