Hi, I just completed a 2800 mile trip on my 2018 Speedmaster and had zero problems. Since the SM has tube tires, you cannot simply plug them. Initially I purchased all tools the change a tube on the road then said "screw it" and brought road side insurance instead. I figured if I had a flat I'll just get it hauled to a repair shop. I did carry a spare inner tube with me since they may be hard to find. I was worried about the beach bars but found them very comfortable with the forward controls. I did replace the seat with a Corbin solo seat, best investment I ever made. Planning a 4700 mile trip next summer. The 1200 engine ran perfect in every way even in 105 F degrees. Enjoy your Speedmaster, I sure am..

Thank you Delllenbaugh,
that's great to hear, I did some asking around and tubed tyres tend to get punctures less,according to my tyre guy something to do with thicker tyres on the outer edge or something. I didn't know Corbin did SM seats I looked at La Pera but couldn't find anything.
Thanks for getting back to me and safe and happy riding for the new year.

I also add Ride On in my tires. I read good reviews and may help with small punctures, anything to help on long trips. Go to corbin.com to view the Corbin seat. Picture is the seat I got, very comfortable for long trips. I take the back rest off around town.
