Spookily, I've just been looking at the MotoPressor from Rocky Creek,
Comes with a 5 year guarantee for around £30.

Yes but if you buy a Halfords Tesco or any other similar one for less than £10 and break off the plastic outer, that looks exactly the same. Expensive bag. JJH
Now there's an idea
This could all go very wrong though!
No. That's what I have. Tiny too. JJH
Airman has good reviews. I bought one. I had one of the AA type things before (not AA badged, loads of outfits use the same generic pump, labelled up - Stop N Go anyone?) but it seized up on its fifth use.
Just a cheapo one from a multiple Tesco or something like them (cheap and chearefull) with the external plastic taken off and hay presto it looks like the rockey creek one. (Obviously not as no manufacturer would dress up/down a cheap product and pass it off as something else). Expensive bag though. JJH
No not canbus compatible. I've found that when plugged in to the socket it will pump away till under pressure. No where near enough to ride. 2 crocodile clips. JJH
At 4.5 amp at 40 psi it just comes in under the 5 amp that will trip the "fuse". $59+whatever duty/tax+shipping. It's going to be dear. I wonder would it be better if the collective wisdom here could come up a way to increase the tripping point of the socket? Probably easier to just wire in another one. If u must use a socket. JJH
Another vote here for a hard wired socket. Air compressor or heated clothing in the winter and no risk of overloading the bike wiring loom or grief with a tripped canbus and still flat tyre miles from anywhere.
Used mine (an el cheapo AA branded one bought at a filling station (wired direct to battery via aux terminals)) to pump up a tyre I'd done a puncture repair on for a stranded fellow biker at the Hartside Cafe nr Alston.
Due to the first repair not sealing correctly, I had to do a second repair, so the compressor had pumped a tyre up twice & was also needed along with some soapy water to identify the puncture.
Upon starting the bike, it was obvious that the compressor running had depleted the battery significantly, the engine cranked over much slower than usual so the point I am making is Leave the engine running while using a compressor.

+1 for the motorpressor from rocky creek - great compact pump - bought it 3 years ago at motorcycle live and still works brill. Fixed 2 punctures on bikes during trips, 1 car puncture and frequent routine tyre pressure checks. The neoprene bag is great for resting it on when in use to keep it off the floor and quieter.

Expensive bag.
Take the skin off this one... or several more even cheaper.
