    Just a suggestion from someone with experience in having several flat tires. Do a dry run. Let the air out of your tire at home and inflate it. You will be glad you have done it at home in the comfort of your garage first before along the road some day.

    You may also want to get a small ratchet strap to keep the bike from being push of the center stand, that would be putting safety first.

    You never how much push it will take to plug your tire, and the strap goes from center stand to front engine guard.

    Yes, very good idea. Or at least be cognizant of the fact as to why you need it. As yellow rex pointed out above

    Once I have a center stand! This sounds like a real challenge.
