[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 151512, member: 38"] OK I tried 3 times to load a picture showing a small cardboard box with one each of a 19 and 20 in tube, plus a small cylinder operated compressor about 1 1/2 in in dia and 3 1/2 in long and a hose to connect the compressor to the tire. Blows a tire up in about 1/2 minute. Picture takes a long time to load and then just disappears when I click on it I try and be prepared to deal with punctures. If I am out of earshot from home this is what is in the top box. Same top box fits either of the two I generally venture forth on. The top box is on the bike with 19in front and 18 in rear right now so the inner tubes are appropriate for it. It also has a much shorter hose and this is my spare pump. Suzuki dealers had them in the 80's Don't try one on a Comet unless it has a twin plug head or you will pass out from exhaustion. Been a few times over 20 or 30 years (not always mine!). Most recently about 5 years ago on I 5 near Mt Shasta in California. 20 min stop, new tube and on the road. Pretty sure I would have been there for hours if I was waiting for recovery, and then to some place that didn't have a tube.
