I could be wrong, but I think the Airman Sparrow only has the car-style 12V connector. If it had the battery leads, I'd have one in my pannier.

From the pic, it looks like battery clamps are included. I would cut off the clamps and install an SAE connector to plug into my battery tender wire. Hmm, but the description says it has a cigarette plug. Either way, I'd remove it.

Even with my new setup, space is/will still be at a premium.

Just to go slightly off topic (don't worry - I'll bring it back again, honest!!) has anyone else noticed that not matter how many storage nooks and crannies you find or add (in the shape of tank bags and panniers etc) you will never ever have "enough" space for going on a trip. You always used to manage with a rucksack, then you got a tankbag and yet you still need more. Then a top box (my current stage), then you start looking at side panniers. Its a never ending vicious circle!

Anyway, back on topic - I've got a can of synthetic latex stuff for sealing the tyre from the inside. Bought a can for my mate to rescue him from work once and the stuff works wonders. The only problem is that while it pressurises the tyre somewhat it doesn't do a complete job. Fortunately that day we borrowed a foot pump off someone else at the office but if I was out in the wild blue yonder then I'm not sure it'd be quite up to scratch. I'm not convinced about these CO2 cartridges to be honest, just seems a lot of hassle compared to a small compressor? The trick is finding a compressor here in the UK that can fit in the premium space Whatever that may be!

Hassle? How so? You screw the cartridge on, and fill the tire. How much easier do you want it?

They work. My boss keeps one on his Electra Glide, and has used it. He said it works great.

To each his own tho. I'll keep the Co2 deal and my extra room!
