I dug through the archives and found nothing that was recent enough. I just ordered a small rear tail bag for my motorcycle. I ride alone and rural. So a flat tire would be bad. I don’t get out further than an hour from the house. A lot of mountain roads. Minor twisties. Tell me what I want to put in the bag for a get my butt back to the house if a tire goes down. I see rubber plugs. Rubberish screws put in with a screwdriver. Hear or sticky string and mushroom something. I don’t have a tiny air compressor. Is that my only route to put air in the tire to get home. ?! Can air ? Fix a flat still a viable thing. Been a while. Thanks.

Choice for refilling the tire is a mini compressor, or CO2 cartridges.
There are various repair kits for punctures, some can be seen here- https://www.aerostich.com/collections/tire-repair

I would put a second motion behind a 12-volt compressor. Never run out of air, need to refill along the way home you're not wishing there was a Co2 cartridge left.
Rope plugs work for me.

These Lithium Ion battery powered mini compressors work great for bikes and motorcycles.

I like the aero micro compressor..The bag I ordered is a small one. It will fit nicely.

That Tool Check Plus is gold money. 
It costs more than the regular size sets.

I haven’t ordered anything yet. But the nealy mini kit and the areostich mini compressor is what I’m leaning on. There is alot of choices. Most are good . Thanks for the feedback back. Yeah I got to thinking about if I had a flat , I’m screwed. But these combos might let me limp home. lol.

I'm assuming tubeless, if tubed you're already screwed.
You can buy a 12 volt mini compressor, than gut it, get rid of the case to make it smaller.
Never use any liquid inside the tire, big mess at change time, may damage rim.
Neely is the best rope kit. If you use a regular rope kit twist it 2.5 times inside the tire, then pull it out.

Yes I have factory Michelin road 5 tubeless tires.
Got a Neely small kit and areostich micro compressor on the way. They will fit in the cycle bag nicely. Thanks for the suggestion.
