DynaplugUltralite Tubeless Tire Repair Tool Kit, Made in USA

These are a pretty neat product that is easy to use. No goo needed. I bought it for my ATV but ended up first using it on my 4x4 pickup. A body screw with fender washer went right through the tread on a heavy duty Bridgestone on the left front. This plug kit was way easier than changing the tire. I sprayed some Windex around the bolt and no bubbles, so I thought I would pull it out. After the pull big leak! My buddy put his finger over the hole and I prepared the tool. I inserted one plug, more Windex, still seeping. Inserted a second plug, no leaks. Took like 3 minutes, still had plenty of pressure in the tire to drive on. I have about 600 miles on the tire with no problems (i fully aired up later). One note, the plugs are pretty sticky gooey in themselves. I had the one that the manufacturer shipped in the inserter tube (on an earlier purchase) get stuck which ruined the plug. I therefore always leave the inserter empty when I store it in the handle. I also wrap each plug with that non-stick Reynolds foil and store them in the tool handle. They don't get stuck together even in our Mohave Desert heat and rough handling in the ATV. When it comes time to use them, just peel off the aluminum foil, put a little spit on the plug before you slide it into the inserter tube and you will have no troubles.Update: The plugs were in place for over 2,500 miles with no problems, when I was having the tires rotated at Costco, I had them replace the plugs with a permanent patch. I have four of these devices which I carry in different vehicles. I have since used the "system" on 3 more flats (either mine or friends) and it is way faster than changing the tire. Another plus is you are not driving around on a stupid doughnut.

While at the Cleveland Motorcycle Show this year, I saw a product that I thought was impressive enough that I bought one. It is the Dynaplug Tire Repair Tool.I carry a regular automotive tire repair tool, along with automotive tire plugs, in my toolkit, just in case I ever did pick up something in one of my tires that caused a flat tire. However, that tool is meant for car tires, with large plugs intended to plug deep-treaded car tires. I hoped that the tool would work on my motorcycle in an emergency should I need it - but I have never had the opportunity to test it and find out.The Dynaplug tool consists of a small aluminum-handled insertion tool. The end of the tool unscrews, and has storage inside for the small plugs. Each of the plugs has a small brass cone on the end. The plug is pushed into the business end of the tool, the foreign object is removed from the tire, and the plug is pushed into the tire. Once the tool is pushed all the way into the tire, it is then pulled back out. The brass cone head stays inside the tire, and the remainder of the plug remains, plugging the hole. If the hole is too large for one plug, you can insert several more plugs into the same hole until the hole is sealed. Plugs are useful only for holes on the tire's tread face. A tear or hole in the tire's sidewall cannot be patched or plugged, and the tire must be replaced.While again, I haven't had a flat tire to test the system, I did have the opportunity to try it out at the Cleveland bike show. A hole was punched into a motorcycle tire, and I pushed one of the plugs into the hole. Once I withdrew the tool, the end of the plug protruded from the tire as shown. The representative said that the portion of the plug protruding would be worn away very quickly as the motorcycle is ridden, leaving a solid, sealed plug.Inside the tire, the conical points are clearly visible, pulled up against the interior of the tire face. No amount of effort would push these back out through the hole, so I am fairly certain they would perform an excellent seal of the hole in the tire.Several different types of Dynaplug are available. There are some available with reamers, used to clean and smooth the hole before the plug is inserted - however, for a temporary repair, I don't think I would bother.And that's just what I would consider this, or any plug in a motorcycle tire: a temporary repair, designed to get you to somewhere that you can get the tire replaced. The packaging claims that the product is certified for permanent repair by a European test laboratory - but personally, I would not ride on any kind of plugged motorcycle tire except in an emergency situation.I now carry the Dynaplug tool in my bike's tool kit, along with a tiny air compressor. It's small - the size of a small screwdriver - and takes up far less room than my original automotive plug kit. While I can't say that it works great until I've had the misfortune to have to use it - it's nice to know that I have that option.: http://goldwingdocs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=21201

Saved me buying a new tire. Had a tiny nail in tread near sidewall that road hazard warranty was said to not cover, and official practice these days is that sidewall punctures, no matter how small, can't be safely patched. Car dealer and two tire shop all said same thing - “a patch won’t last so buy a new tire.”But hey -- with the nail still there I was only losing 1 or 2 psi/ day. Now plugged and holding air just fine. To be sure, I have had tire pressure display up on dash most of the time for a month. Still good, even with 95F temps outside.My only complaint is that reloading the injector is a bit difficult. The plugs are sticky so don't go easily into the tube. Seems like there should be a better way - maybe stick it in freezer?UPDATE: two years later Dynapatch spot started slowly leaking again. Guess dealer was correct about difficulty getting permanent repair at edge of tread, but worked great for 2 years and 35K miles! Still much better than $200+ to replace what was nearly new tire.So I tried replugging it again.This time I some rubbing alcohol on sticky tail to help insert into installer tool. Made insertion much much easier.Unfortunately, on first attempt pressing into puncture, tip went a bit crooked, result was leaving brass tip inside tire and tail still in install tool. Second attempt worked perfectly. No noise or any worries about tiny brass tip that may be rattling around inside tire. Can’t do any damage. I don’t hear anything. Repatch is holding air just fine.So... repair at edge near sidewall didn’t last life of tire, like the tire guys warned, but it went 35K miles! If reapplication survives another 20K or so, tire will have served well.
