I had a Powerlet on my KLR 650 for my Alaska run last year and had no problems with it at all. I did over 3,000 miles of dirt and gravel roads up there. I installed it in case I had to use my air compressor, but that was extra weight I didn't really need to carry with me as I had no tire/tube problems. The spring loaded cap on the Powerlet keeps dirt and water out, so there is very little chance for it to fail. I intend to install one on my DRZ prior to the TAT in September and haul the compressor on that run also.

Thanks Randy. Good conversation and you got the names right, Carole is with an e, but you can't know that with an introduction. Phil, if you're reading, looking forward to next Monday. Mac

I will follow this thread with great interest. I plan to do the TAT from Utah west in September. Great report and pictures so far. I have been agonizing on tire selection, but your photos have put a bit of ease into my worries thanks.
