Like most people, I carry a puncture repair kit on the bike working on the premise that if you have one, you wont get a puncture. Well, thats the theory anyway!
I have the "worm" type repair strips which come with the small CO2 bottles, and even though I carry spares, doubt if they could inflate the rear tyre to a satisfactory pressure.
A friend lent me a small 12 volt air compressor for a 7 week trip I did recently and I was impressed with it. Measuring 4" x 4 1/2" x 2" it comes with sufficient power cable to reach the front tyre, and will blow up to 90PSI. It also has a small work light incorporated. I was considering changing the "large" plug for a small one to fit the central outlet socket by the riders left calf, but seeing as I will never get a puncture as I carry all of the repair gear, haven't bothered. (My fingers were firmly crossed as I wrote the last sentence!!)
The compressor fits neatly into the underseat storage area on my Trophy, but those who opted to purchase the SE model so they can listen to "Sing Something Simple" as they ride (also known as a wireless) wont have the luxury of extra storage. an alternative will have to be found to stow.
The company I bought from currently advertise the compressors on ebay for £12.99 with free postage and I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by posting the item number, which is 161027660553
I have no connection with the company, just got a handy item at a reasonable price.
