Top stuff!
Used mine last night on a stranded Triumph's rear tyre - very simple, good instructions - good result.
How much are they to replace?

They were £32 last time I asked, but that's from BeeEm dealer.
M&P do a similar looking item for about £20, which I bought and although it does look the same the plugs break quite easily unlike the gen BMW ones I used when I had my 1100R

Heoin Gericke do one which looks exactly the same but I can't remember how much - less than £20, I think.

The kit Hein Gericke does looks suspiciously like the M&P item.
I went through all the plugs in the box when I got a puncture in my S and every one snapped while trying to get it in th'ole.
I ended up using a mates cheap nasty kit which he paid about £3 for!
The genuine BeeEm ones I used on my old 1100R were definately a lot stronger.

you can buy the kit in parts, get the gas cylinders from somewhere else?? Piantball shop maybe, as they are the same...

Can you just get the plugs then from a BeeEm dealer?? I've Never thought of asking Doh!
When we go away on our wee trips we usually take a small compressor with us - it's come in very useful on several occasions.
