RE: Air blower

I use a gas leaf blower. 240 mph air out the end. Works very well. It's a bit heavy, but it doesn't take long, so...not a problem. Washing and cleaning is the PITA, drying...drink a beer while I'm doing that.

RE: Air blower

I bought a Cycle Dryer from HD.. It is a little orange hand held one. Works good, the end is a rubbery material so that you can get it in small places without scratching things

RE: Air blower

For you blowers out there..keep a waffle weave MF over your shoulder to grab when necessary. Blot the bottom of wheels ..if you notice water seems to travel in a circle around them... Hold towel on backside of controls and blow water into so it does blow onto dry areas..etc..etc.

RE: Air blower

I am using the Mr. Clean auto dry and a cycledry that I bought from my local dealer. It sure does make washing the bike a lot easier. No more towel drying.

RE: Air blower

I use my air compressor with a 2ft wand that is rubber coated at the end (just in case ) I think it works well don't really need to polish chrome very often cause there is no water spots

RE: Air blower

Been using a 260 mph gas leaf blower for over two years now. It works great with no debris coming out of it. It also works great if you decide to wash down your sportscar motor... just blow off the motor prior to starting.

Does anyone use something similar to this to dry their bike quickly? I usually just use a Mr. Clean auto dry. While there are no spots, the bike takes FORever to dry. There are several models to choose from on the site where I buy a lot of my car care stuff, so if you use one, let me know what it is and where you got it if it works great.

Poulan Feather Light Leaf Blower from walley world. I have never dried my scooter with a rag. Why bend over and wipe when you can crank up a gas engine and use man tools...just my preferred method, wife gets mad 'cause I have never used the blower on leaves...lol :-)
