Jack has one.....It's quality...not the plastic junk ones at Walmart. I forget the brand.

After jack chimes in...I'll move this to Gizmos....Jeesh Dave. LOL

Dave some of the smaller compressor have trouble attaching to the ATV stems. The ATV stems tend to be very short and the taper of the rubber keeps the fill hose from hooking up properly. An easy fix is to carry a 1" stem extension

If you really want air on the trail go with a PowerTank, they sell a 20 ounce CO2 system that is about the size of a small compressor,

That's a nifty product.

The fusion tank that Jack has....is high quality stuff, but it's a regular compressor.
