Instead of Co2 bottles... check this out. You will find information on converting a 12 volt pump to fit it under your seat!!!   :shock:

I bought one of those Wally World pumps and stripped it....fits in the palm of my hand and makes for easy fill ups if need be....definately a must have and cheap too.....think I paid maybe $10 for the pump :shock: It takes about 4 minutes to fully inflate my tire :cool:

I had the $12 K-Mart version, "always by my underwear at K-mart......”

Turns out for my extra $2 on removal of the guts from the casing I was instantly GTG, Sans the hassle of reengineering the cooling fan which is safely built into the casing, I even kept the worthless gauge since it was on a nice flexible hose.

Pics below, hopefully

I may even take the carcass back and tell them the pump had a malfunction :shock: its America after all you can return anything, even your underwear no doubt!

I carry or did C02 and small tire plug kit because.....

I once rode a fantastic ride (then CBR600F3) in far eastern Oregon out of Joseph....... the Hells Canyon road was still officially closed :twisted: its alpine stuff, long sweepers next to waterfall, road closed for small debris, occasional fallen tree etc on tarmac, so had the roads to myself, 30 miles form civilization on a closed road got the second flat of my life, 2uP :oops: !

We road it back 40 miles to Les Schwab on the flat rear, it was quite amazing handled pretty well 30-40 MPH, tire was folded flat protecting the rim. repaired with a plug and rode the road again next day. It was even better then did another 150 miles on that tire still looked great when I replaced it.

Okay I worked out I need third part website to display pics, I'll leave you with a thousand words instead.

Cheers
