• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I have a kit from Aerostitch, but the most important tire repair kit I have is keeping Ride-On Tire Sealant in my tires as a preventative. Beware of Green Slime, it can cause problems with motorcycle wheels.
 
plug kit

I carry a little car tire plug kit from one of the auto supplies and a little compressor. I do have "ride on" in my trailer tires. :cheers:
 
I've found that the "mushsroom" head plugs work best, but it takes a tool to insert then. Still, it doesn't take up much room, so that's what I carry. Add a small compressor and you're good to go. Otherwise a credit card and a cell phone also works pretty good :joke:
 
Blackjack tire kit, Stop & Go Mini Compressor and the rest depends on outside temp. No I don't drink and drive. :pray:
 
I bought a kit at Walmart that includes a patch kit, little compressor and a can of that stuff you put in to get to the next shop. I opted for the smaller compressor and kit because of space. But it should be all I need in an emergency.
 
12volt plug in?

Is there a 12 volt cigarette type plug in standard on the RT limited to plug a compressor into?

I have the compressor that will either be used with the cigarette lighter adapter or has alligator clips. I figured I would use the jumper terminals under the seat if I ever have to use it.
 
If you are going for a compressor kit with a cigarette lighter plug be sure to check how many amps the compressor will pull and what amp rating your plug will supply safely. The compressor I use can hook into the battery tender connector so I am not concerned about the power draw.

Yup! :thumbup:

It's in the top trunk. On the left hand side, and sort of about two-thirds of the way up toward the top... ;)

It's got a rubber cap that folds over it for protection.
