Motorcycle dryer
I have been using an air compressor to dry my bike. Some say this is not a good idea. Haven't had a problem yet though. What is the BEST air dryer out there and what is a good price? Thanks for everyones input.

Not sure of best, but I use an electric leaf blower.
Works well!

I don't actually wash my bike. But when Sean does it for me he uses a leaf blower to dry it off!

Not fond of leaf blowers because they are not filtered and blow out what they suck in.
Air compressors have been known to damage seals and gaskets from the high pressure of the air.

I have a $39.00 Cycle Dryer that looks like a very small leaf blower. It works very well and is inexpensive.

Mr. Clean makes a product that filters the water, so after rinsing, you just let it dry, spot free.
