This is a interesting threat.. As for a FLAT tire though, what is the quick fix for this on the spyder? This is one of my main concerns always , a flat tire!! Has anyone experienced this before? Tire repair kit--fix a flat--are there tubes in the tires---tubeless---small 12 V compressor maybe.. You guys and gals got me thinking about stuffing my truck with some of these goodies now cause I do not carry most of the items but will put together a kit for sure of odds and ends, all really good idea's for sure.

I carry a small compressor and an assortment of sticky rope (string) plugs along with their installation tool. I haven't had the need (yet) on the Spyder but did on the ST1300 and a couple of other riders' bikes.
In addition, a small first aid kit, a small fire extinguisher, miscellaneous tools, rain suit, six foot of plastic tubing for siphoning gas from one bike to another, a 20-foot tow strap... that's about it, I think.![]()
What kind of compressor do you have? i have a small compressor that i picked up hoping to use for the spyder but the fuse in the 12v blows as soon as i turn it on and was worried about upping the fuse any.
Slime...it is one of the smallest out there. It does take more than 5 amps, which is the standard fuse for the standard cigarette lighter. But, I hook it up to my battery charging lead under the seat... 20 amp fuse on that circuit.
No repair kit is complete w/o Duck (Duct) tape... even comes in colors to match your bike.. spare quart of oil on those long trips could come in handy as well.

Don - you're absolutely right... normally I carry a roll... got a trip coming up... going to put it in right now. And, you're right on the oil... for trips. One quart of Amsoil is already there for this weekend.

Great! I have my quart of oil as well. Looking forward to meeting you in Humble... (wonder how many know how "Humble" is pronounced).
Loved the "duck taped" too..
Staying overnight Saturday in Cleveland...
