BikeMaster Portable Air Compressor
Keeping your tires properly inflated is the single most effective safety check for any motorcycle. According to the folks at Dunlop tires, 85% off all the tires they check at rally’s and events are under inflated. Only a few pounds of low air pressure can lead to premature and uneven tire wear, which will cost you a lot of money when you need to replace those tires before their time. Five or more pounds of lower air pressure can be downright dangerous when you lean your bike over in a turn. It causes too much tire flex and can lead to a catastrophic failure and a serious accident.

BikeMaster’s portable air compressor is a hnady tool that no garage should be without. It can bring your motorcycle tire up to the proper pressure in just a few minutes, and even works on your car tires. It is made of heavy duty metal, and has a built in flashlight to work at night. It comes in a handy carrying case, and is compct enough to fit in a saddlebag, if you want to take it with you on the road.

It is compatible with any 12-volt electrical system, has a cigarette lighter adaptor attached, and it uses 10 amp max current consumption and 140 watt power. It has the power to inflate to 101 PSI. The unit has a large built in pressure gauge, a 33” air hose, and a 9.5-foot power cord.
The BikeMaster Portable Air Compressor sells for only $35.95, and can be ordered through your local Tucker Rocky dealership. You can visit their web site at www.bikemaster.com to get more information, and to find your nearest dealer.
