Ah yes, I think you have mentioned this before, I see some stores selling it locally, quite pricey though, though I suppose you pay for quality and that small size.

Oh? Where?

Yeah ultimately the size is what counts as it can go under the seat of just about any bike with no extra luggage required.

So i'm looking at puncture repair, found THIS and THIS.

Since slim mini compressors are insanely expensive i figure this is the route to take.

Besides having roadside assistance in there anything you keep for emergencies?

I'm guessing you have tubless? The bombs are enough to get you going, but they wont always completely inflate the tyre, also if you manage to unseat the bead you will probably have almost no luck reseating it. If you have a small can of flammable spray (even some deodorants work)

Personally I have the bombs & plugs plus a pump. Pump was about R800 bucks when I got it. I can't seem to find my brand locally, got it from East Coast Motorcycles who have since closed down...

What is insanely expensive? R800 for a compressor is barely double the price of the repair kit you listed, and its basically the same size too.

For emergencies I always carry some large cable ties, Rok straps and the toolkit that came with the bike (an assortment of spanners and torx keys )

That's insanely expensive to me, the compressor keep in the car costs R150, in comparison it is very expensive.

Yup they're tubeless, I've seen videos like that before, well if it unseats I'm screwed. But I just want something small that'll help in minor emergencies.

Cool - some of the other places to consider:
Denysville (cannot remember the name of the place)
Picanha (Nigel)
Beestekraalstasie (Brits)
 
PE Toy Run is also on this Sunday. Keen to go again if I'm not too knackered from our function in CT on Saturday
