If I had to pick one favorite product to represent the best value in motorcycle accesories this would be it! The Slime Power Sport Tire Inflator is the world’s most versatile compact 300 PSI 12 volt air compressor. As you can see from the above picture this compact air compressor is about the size of your hand! It comes in a sturdy zippered carry case. Mine is always in my motorcycle’s saddlebag and barely takes any space. Most importantly this air compressor comes with a variety of power attachments to attach it to your motorcycle battery but the one I like is the 8′ cord that plugs directly into a battery tender pigtail. That’s right, this works off of an SAE2 plug system just like most of the electronic accesories sold at www.Shop.RoadCaptainUSA.com

If you have one of these you can adjust your tire pressure anywhere, anytime! Start the day by checking your cold tire pressure and add additional air if needed. Simply take your handy compact air compressor out of it’s sturdy carry case. Attach the air hose and 8′ cord. Plug the cord into your battery tender quick connect cable and you are ready to inflate!

I was once at Waterman’s Crab House down on the Chesapeake in Rock Hall, Maryland when someone in the parking lot pointed out I had a flat tire! Since I have tubeless tires we were able to plug the tire and use the Slime Power Sport to inflate it. All in about ten to fifteen minutes tops! I got home safely and had the tire replaced as soon as was convenient. That one time was worth the cost of the compact motorcycle air compressor. Imagine the cost and hassle if I had to call for a tow!

Another time Diana and I were in Gettysburg for Bike Week. Her rear tire had lost about 6 lbs of air overnight! I was freak’n out that we should go to the closest dealer and get a new tire installed asap. Diana told me to inflate it to the proper pressure with the Slime air compressor and we’ll get home just fine and replace it then. And that’s what we did.

Considering you are supposed to check your tire pressure cold to get an accurate reading having this compact air compressor with us on trips is great. If you ride to the closest gas station the friction from the road will affect your tire pressure. With this compact travel size air compressor we are able to check our pressure and inflate to proper spec first thing in the morning no matter where we are! It works great in hotel parking lots!

I have had mine for over three years and love it! Sometimes I even have to help out a stranger who needs a little air. It’s like having jumper cables in your car… it’s something you shouldn’t leave home without. You can now buy this spectacular compact air compressor for your motorcycle survival kit for $39.95 at www.Shop.RoadCaptainUSA.com or just click here.

I sell a series of electronic accessories at www.Shop.RoadCaptainUSA.com that allow you to hook up electronic devices directly to your fused battery tender pigtail. This system works off the SAE-2 plug connector system utilized by battery tenders made by Deltran. Deltran manufactures many branded battery tenders for major companys such as Harley-Davidson. Utilizing the battery tender pigtail you may already have in place eliminates the need to install addtional wiring harnesses creating a birdnest on your battery. If you do not already have a SAE-2 pigtail installed, I sell those too. I also sell the Battery Tender brand battery tender which includes a free pigtail.

It’s cold out again and you are should be thinking about the use of heated gear. Our Heated Gear Adapter connects coaxial cables such as those used on most brands of heated gear to an SAE-2 connector. This simple cable allows you to plug in coaxial heated motorcycle riding gear to your battery tender pigtail. If you buy heated gear, such as a pair of gloves, it will come with a fused battery harness similar to a battery tender quick connect (it just has a different plug on the end). If you’re like me, you don’t want more than one harness on your battery. It will start to look like a birds nest if you keep adding connectors! That’s where this handy little SAE-2 coaxial adapter comes in handy. It is available at www.Shop.RoadCaptainUSA.com for $9.95 plus S&H.

You may want to run both heated gloves and a GPS unit off your battery tender pigtail and you can’t make up your mind which one is more important. I have the solution! Run both using this SAE-2 Splitter Extension in conjunction with the Heated Garmet Adapter and the 12 Volt Power Port!  The Splitter Extension is available for $12.95 plus shipping and handling at www.Shop.RoadCaptainUSA.com

Every once in awhile I receive a thank you e-mail from my customers who have purchased the 12 Volt Power Port. Mike Casto sent a nice endorsement I would like to share with you.

I just wanted to let you know I used your 12 volt power port on a 25 day trip across the country and it worked flawlessly.  I used it to charge my phone and charge/power my GPS.  I camped all but a couple of nights and electric was not always available.  In fact, I never even carried AC chargers so I thank you very much for furnishing me with a reliable product.

I used a Joe Rocket tank bag and the length of your cord was just right to twist tie the plug to the bag.  If it rained I could still use your cord by using the cover that came with that bag. I took a Suzuki Boulevard M50 not a hog… hope you don’t mind.

Mike’s Suzuki M50 is pictured above in the Badlands of South Dakota. You can use my 12 Volt Power Port Cigarette Lighter Adapter on your motorcycle to hook up GPS and power your cell phone. An 8 foot extension is recommended for GPS hook up. This device works in conjunction with a battery tender pigtail. If you don’t have one we sell that too. I offer two versions of a GPS Hook Up Kit. The standard kit includes the power port and extension in a zippered tool pouch. The Deluxe Kit includes a Deltran battery harness with a 7.5 amp fuse commonly called a pigtail. See our online store for more information www.Shop.RoadCaptainUSA.com

Did you receive a GPS or other neat gadget for your motorcycle as a Christmas present? Does it plug in using one of those cigarette lighter style plugs you find in cars, trucks, most touring bikes and some scooters? What if you’re like me and don’t have one of these handy dandy electrical outlets on your motorcycle?

SOLUTION: My partner has contracted an American electronics manufacturer to make 12 volt cigarette lighter adapters for motorcycles! These high quality American made 12 volt power ports have a cigarette lighter style outlet at one end and an SAE 2-pin connector at the other. They are connected by 11 inches of 18 gauge wire with an overall length of 15.75 inches.

Most of us in the northeast have a battery tender pigtail permanently attached to our motorcycle battery. This is the quick connect cable that you attach to your battery tender in the off season. It has an SAE 2-pin connector. The 12 volt power port connects to this pigtail via the SAE 2-pin connector and provides you with an electrical outlet to power your GPS or other electronic equipment.

Order your 12 Volt Power Port now for $9.95 plus $2.95 for shipping and handling! Click here to go to the www.Shop.RoadCaptainUSA.com online store to purchase this unique motorcycle accessory. We also carry an 8′ extension cable and the Deltran fused quick connect harness.
