Still sorting out my riding "needs" with the motorcycle. Thanks for the reminder about flat tires. Just had a set of Pirelli Sport Demons put on the bike and hopefully they'll avoid nails and other pointy intruders.

as the gryppoon says... carry it and you will never need it...
i have a ase to powerlet for easy power to the pump... also carry powerlet to ase to gater clips to jump a low battery moto if the need arises... which it has... the k75 can easily flood when hungover and battery drain is usually a byproduct... can go powerlet to powerlet for a boost or powerlet to battery for a charge...

More stuff to consider. You experts here need to build an online course.
I have a Slime pump though Jack Riepe keeps telling me it's crap and I need to buy a CyclePump. And I always carry an AntiGravity lithium battery on the scooter in case I need to jump start it. Never needed it for that but it has started both my Honda autos. Will have to figure a connection to the K75.

I too ave been pretty fortunate to NOT have a flat on the road that stopped me. I did have the rear of the K12LT loose air short of work, but i was able to ride it on in because of the reinforced sidewall.

That looks like the Sears fairing I had on my '72 Yamaha R5C 350 two stroke.That was a period correct Wixom Brothers faring, just the ticket back then, I had a couple of bmw /6 specific Wixoms on my airheads too. Not so pretty, but they went on and off easily and were very effective. Here's one of them on my /6.
