Plug it with a repair plug kit. Unless you have gone already. Ha!

Change the tire, live to ride another day.
I carry a plug kit on trips and have used it, but kept speeds below 35mph till I got to a shop for a replacement.

Springer classic...
You have spokes on that...no?
Can't plug tires on spokes, they have a tube.
Some patch/replace but for safety sake I would replace it.
Plugging should be a temp fix to get you home in any event and there should be a replacement tire on the way.
Unlike cars that have 4 wheels, bikes are less forgiving when a damaged tire takes an early retirement while you are riding.
What cost would you put on your life as opposed to the cost of a new tire?

I worked in the shop most of the night making dyno pulls & writing a new map for a friends Fatboy, He bought a Jims 120 and sent it to Branch for Pro street build. Made 165hp & 156ftq at 6400rpm on 93 pump gas.

Huge cams and ports. If this wasn't a "B" motor numbers would be better. But a 6500rpm limit stops that.
It didn't start coming on the cam till 4000rpms.
I would have chosen 60G cams instead of the 64Gs he used.
