[QUOTE="leebunyard, post: 26165, member: 330"] I had a bad experience using the StopnGo soft mushroom type plug but re-plugged the tire with a sticky string type plug that I've used for years on all my cars and trucks and rode the rear Bridgestone OEM tire another 2700 miles without a problem. I've plugged probably at least 30-40 truck and car tires with the string plugs and have NEVER had a failure, but this was the first time I've ever plugged a mc tire. I replaced the Bridgestones with Avons, picked up another nail in the rear Avon a couple weeks ago, had about 8500 miles on the tires at that time. Plugged it with another string type plug, just turned 10,000 miles on the Avons this week, probably could easily go another 2000 miles at least before fully hitting the wear bars but I already have another set of Avons in my garage so will probably have them put on within the next couple weeks. I carry a small bag in one of the sidecases with my tire reamer tool, tire insertion tool, sticky string plugs, rubber cement and a small Bell bicycle foot pump that cost about $10 at Wally World that will air up the rear Avon tire in less than 5 minutes with little effort. Works for me. Lee in the Mountains of Northern California B) [/QUOTE]
