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.
I carry the following as a tire kit for my Tubless setups.
Fantic brand battery powered pump
Tire plug kit and contact cement tube
Razor blade knife
A decent LED Headlamp
Small set of spoons (only long trips)

Depends what type of tires your Bike has=Tubed or tubeless.
I have been riding for 55 yrs and had only 1 flat on a trip. It was a tubed tire. The tire tread was low and I picked a thorn. I pinched the tube 2 more times using screwdrivers getting the tube/tire remounted. That was 1974.
Since 1977 I have been riding on tubeless tires and I have not had a flat or nail pickup on a trip. I pickup nails in town. I put together a kit in 2009 for a 3-week trip to the West Coast. I had a Slime compressor and "Stop&Go" (mushroom plugs with co2 cartridges) I got from aerostich.com. After I got home, I was unloading the Bike and thought about trying out the Slime compressor. I connected it to my Battery Tender pigtail and it blew the fuse. The pump needs a 30Amp fuse; the battery tender pigtail fuse was 7.5Amp. Later, I got Dynaplug tire repair kit. I tried to use it on my car tire and it failed. Now, I carry the same plug strips I use on my vehicle tires. I've been using them for 48 yrs.
I bought an emergency combo kit for my Mustang-GOOLOO A5 Jump Starter (4000A) with Air (Project Farm). I was thinking I need something like that for my Bike.
